Fun Day Riding

OK, he left Haley behind, but she loved it. The form will come.
Canyon was trotting out nicely for her.
Rounded her shoulders, but was using her leg. I'd like to see a little more contact. I think she was trying to get him to canter.

Better, she was ready this time.
Oops, cut off Haley's head, but it's a cute picture of Canyon. Still needs more contact.

Haley has learned a lot on Canyon. He's a nicely trained horse, quiet and well mannered. The perfect horse for a beginner to advance on. He has done it all and is quite willing to help a novice learn and move on. Now if we can only keep him sound. We're trying him without shoes for a while. He's still a little sore on the front, but only on concrete. On the grass he seems fine. He has helped Haley's confidence and she's trying very hard to get it all right. She just needs time and miles in the saddle.
