Spring put in another appearance today- 50 something and quite nice. We took most of the week off and I think we needed a little break - free lunged her for a few minutes and she went from "fetch me my cane" to nicely warmed up. I thought maybe she'd go bananas for a few minutes, but she wasn't hot at all. I got stepped on in the aisle and hollared at her, and she acted indignant. Removed another goat's worth of hair and she's actually looking less fuzzy.
Very good ride overall. I sat with my leg UNDER me most of the time. Some of the best canter ever- very smooth, very easy, no rushing- I could have sat there and done it forever. We cantered some squares which kind of ticked her off when we were going to the right, but we worked through it and I think it was really good for her.
I wanted to finish up with a couple of stretchy circles and she would_not_do_them. I was like WTH horse? Normally she's like "I like rolling peanuts" but today she was like "Hey I know let's do mediums". "No," I say, and she's all "Hey let's just trot rilly fast then." It sucked. I hate when everything goes swimmingly and you just want to finish up and dole out the hearts and flowers, and your horse is like "Nope, here's the cloud for your silver lining." :P
