Jun. 11th, 2008 07:33 amI am totally out of shape.
The high yesterday was 93, but the humidity was only 5%. Sometimes I love living in the desert. Trudi was a little sweaty before I even tacked her up, so she behaved herself pretty well except for one handy spook in a normally spookless corner- she managed a nice 90 degree turn on the forhand. Goofball.
I had a hard time keeping her steady on the bit, but I wasn't sitting very well- I was relaxed, which was nice, but just not really plugged in or using my core till we were mostly done. I mostly sat there going "blargh, I'm weak". I feel it today... Trudi had some good strides of canter lengthening, and managed a bit of a nice 10 m circle. Walk was pacey and she was like "We can has trot now?". She was good overall, just a bit impatient and I couldn't really support her as well as I would have liked. We survived some big wind gusts though, and in general the weather was nice and it was good to be riding my horse.
