Today I rode the green pony, who is currently in heat. She would not stop whinnying in the barn, which was quite funny, and then once we were in the arena she felt very restless at the walk, but then really lazy at the trot and canter. She was quite fired up, so we worked on striding mostly, and then I rode her to an oxer (which she hasn’t really jumped before). The first time, she dodged out really quickly, but my trainer had told me to sit right up and ride her to it, so I just stayed stick still in the saddle and I was fine and rode her around again. This time, my trainer stood next to it, and I really rode her to it, and she cleared it beautifully! I was happy with her, so we ended there. 🙂
