Well we rode last night thank goodness, I was getting withdrawals! Shannon is going amazingly on JimJim. He's working in an outline more often than not now, and even though she still keeps looks down, she's starting to sit up and stop hunching. They were really good to watch, and she can't stop smiling and JimJim is just trying so hard to please, they really are a great combination. Shannons jumping has improved too, she's now getting the confidence to let him go a little faster and they are really starting to flow. So nice to see Shannon getitng her confidence up, she's always been a bit of a nervous rider, probably her mothers fault, but I've relaxed since she's been on JimJim and think this has been the best thing for her.
Well I grabbed poor old G out of the paddock, only did a 20 min workout, mainly bending, walk and trot. He's got energy to burn at the moment, but was amazingly good when I did ask him to come back to me, and was listening the whole time, so not a bad work out for him and me.
I rode Rat briefly we we're mainly working on bend last night, he's very evasive one side, and some days he's good others not so good. I think he's getting annoyed now with his rider being demanding of him, but hey he's grown, he's not a baby anymore, the serious work has to start. We kept it to nice tight circles, decreasing and increasing at walk and just moved to a figure of eight to work on at trot.
Shannon is off for testing for high school tonight so no riding again, which means I'll have to try and ride the three on Thursday, arh! I need to win Lotto so I don't have to work, or find a really great paying part-time job, maybe hours of work 10-12, would be suitable :)
Right, will update again after the weekend, when I should at least have something interesting to add rather than all this boring tosh!
