I | Warm Up | I

So yesterday I went and rode Bella in the middle of the day. I warmed her up in the big paddock/XC course paddock thing. Then brought her into the arena, (a.k.a Flicka's paddock because she will escape from the big paddock :weary: ) to do gymnastics.

Also we do be flaunting our royal blue matching set :eyes: :nail_care:

I | Main Excersise | I

We did a gymnastic excersise that involved 4 trot poles followed by a bounce and then 1 stride to a verticle. She jumped this so well. She didn't refuse it the first time or anything.

Aah what have I done to deserve her! :see_no_evil:

Also she was picking up canter SO well. We have struggled with doing trot-canter transitions but she did these amazingly. We attempted some more walk-canter; she did alright but we still need some practice.

We experimented with tempo and collection in the canter. I eventually got her to do an extremely collected canter which was impressive. Extending the canter is no problem what-so-ever for Bella 🤣

Hehe Flickas face at the end

I | Cool Down | I

To cool her down I took off her tack and threw her halter on. Then I walked her around the front of our property to eat some grass and cool her down.

I sadly only got the gymnastics excersise on video. But hey, there's always next time for videos. Today me and a friend took her for a trail ride for 1.5 hours. So that was fun!

Thanks for reading, cya! :wave:
