The rain did stop for a little while and allowed me to get two rides in. Today I rode both Winger and Cassia. Winger worked on his transitions and his aides. We are really trying to keep things consistent with him as I believe quite a few people have ridden him and they might not have been working under a coach and therefore they probably weren’t always as consistent as they should have been. We are really trying to get a good base with his trot and canter commands before we ask for any fences. Also he had to get use to ring today as he hasn’t never ridden in it until today.

Also tommorow before any in the saddle training we will work on lunging and he was not very responsive to lungeing today. And he shouldhave a really good basic understanding of lungeing before moving on. Lungeing on is on our list for all of next week.

With Cassia everything went well. We worked on just basicaly getting used to the ring and just getting shape and bending. Cassia and I will be attending a lesson next week to work towards getting  my instructors.
