5-9-11 The day was beautiful and sunny. Lordy and I had a fantastic online session in the fields playing over cross country jumps. Lordy had never seen these obstacles before so it was a great test of our partnership. We played on the 45 foot line. Focus on increasing distance without losing respect. At times can be challenging to say the least.
Transitioned to the feather lines for some driving. Today we had the focus of leading rein starts mixed with the pattern of figure 8's at WTC. Today was the first day that we got an in sync canter with a soft simple change of lead through a few steps of trot and then back to the canter in the opposite direction. I quit the session on that. Lordy was so light and responsive I wanted to give him a HUGE release for being so in tune...... We have made so much progress with ground lines. Our goal is flying changes in sync along with fluid lateral work at WTC. Work in progress but every session is positive in some way. We are also able to jump small obstacles I just need to remember to jump too! LOL
