Rode my friend’s pony again, and I don’t think she’s happy with the weather. She felt very lazy and bored. We tried to mix things up, but it was hard when she wouldn’t pick up the canter. We decided to turn it more into a training session for her, correcting her when she didn’t pick up the canter with a half-halt with the inside hand and encouraging a bend. Once she picked up the canter, we went on the circle and tried to hold the canter since she breaks quite easily. We also did a figure eight over a little 8″ cavaletti, and encouraged a lead change. In the end we jumped about 2’3 on a circle, since despite her being green and holding some bad habits, she is a very talented jumper. It will just take some time to train her out of her habits and finish her.
