Not the best short ride I have ever done on Crickett, we worked in the pasture and had some attitude issues. She was just reverting to a stubborn self that I have not seen for a while and it was somewhat frustrating on both of our accounts.

I wanted to really work on bending and flexing and getting her up and downward transitions down, but she was having very little of that at all. So I moved on to getting her sidepassing and other smaller cues to be quick and precise.

Crickett did really well on those and I am glad that I ended on that note, she was very light to the forequarter cue as well as the sidepassing. He haunch turns have always been really good. I think my next step with those is going to be perfecting my rollbacks and getting her to really push herself with her hind.

Why is it gray on days I am home and sunny on days that I am busy?

It is really not fair at all, yesterday I had to run around town all day and did not get to ride at all, I did not even see my ponies in the daylight. It was a gorgeous day to, no wind, bright and sunny, but today when I am home and have nothing to do it is gray and just plain cold?

I brought the horses in, Crickett got her tail re-done (Braided) and groomed up while Diamond who has gone back to his easy to catch self got groomed and ridden around the round pen bareback and halter.

Yeah exciting day I know. It just seems hard to get motivated when the weather is crappy.
