Playing with Half-Pass

Yesterday we got to ride in the outdoor ring for the first time this spring! Wooooot woot! The sun felt SO GOOD as we bopped along.

I asked my trainer to take a little video of our lesson, mostly to document the fact that I am still riding at 26-weeks pregnant. We were playing with trot and canter half-passes, and although Clay and I are both still new to this movement, it’s starting to come along and it’s really fun.

Clay tries so hard, and he’s coming to work in a very happy and relaxed way right now. He’s not such a wiggle-worm anymore…the progress in his straightness and honesty has come so far over the winter, and I’m thrilled about that. Brittany Davis is a fantastic, positive trainer, and I feel so grateful to have enjoyed a whole winter of regular lessons with her.

I think I was grinning for 90% of this ride. 🙂

Happy spring, everyone!
