Today I trimmed Prince but before we started I rode Prince bareback and with one rein in the corral. We did some sideways, direct and indirect rein, and then we played with circles. This was interesting as we haven't ridden circles in a while. At first we started by going around the tree but it was hard to get a good circle because of the other tree that was in the way. So we had to do really small circles.
Then we moved over to the other side of the corral and were able to do a little bit bigger circles. We stayed at the walk and at the end, once I gained a really strong focus and could envision the circle better we had success.
After that we rode over to the gate and opened and closed that. It was a bit challenging because of the snow and it is a big green gate but Prince did well and we got it done in the end. Then we just hung out for a bit in the sun before heading over to the drive way to trim!
Naturally,
