the great outdoors...

So on Sunday I set up a dressage ring outside with some cones I got. Oddly, Dover neglected to send me H, sending me 2 of the letter E instead. I'm looking into exchanging one of them. ^_^ I think it was more or less 20 x 60, and it was interesting to ride in those dimensions again - it's been a long time. The short side seemed very short, and the long side very, very long. :) Trudi spooked at the cones at least a dozen times each time she passed them. It was hard to ride straight without a wall on one side, but good practice. We even cantered, which is pretty cool because we hadn't cantered out there before. Trudi was good, especially since fall has arrived and it was cold enough that I needed a jacket- read as: frisky weather. :)
