a welcome break...

Tuesday was a nice change- it was much warmer and I got to the barn while it was still light out. Trudi got to work with another horse in the arena, and did a pretty darn good job. Brakes and steering only went out once. She was much calmer (and somewhat lazier) with the warmer weather but managed to focus pretty well on me. Canter was not fast, although she wanted to be lazy with the hind and just let it trail instead of stepping under, so we'll have to work on relaxation, not rushing, AND staying active. It was a pretty relaxed ride overall though, which was great.
