Up until Monday, when I rode Amber, we would only walk and trot. We have been working getting her to use that big hindend of hers more. I want her driving forward and more responsive.
I have also been riding her in the full cheek snaffle. She is GREAT and has learned to stop on a dime.
Our Monday ride was going great. We were working on our lateral work, quick trotting, quick stopping, and straight lines.
As we were heading around one of the hay fields I sat deep, gave her the cue, and after only 1 long stride we had a nice BIG canter. I only asked her for 5 strides or so. She came back down easily and we went back to work. After a few more minutes I asked for the other lead and she gave it to me.
We ended after I got a full 100' circle at the canter. There is still a lot of work to be done but it was a GREAT ride.
