My students were sick last week and were unable to attend lessons. It was just as well because last week, the weather was cold and wet. Completely yuck.
This week has been in the 50's and 60's and sunny. Perfect!
The girls had greatly improved on there ground skills and for the most part, are more comfortable on Kadance's back. She is a big horse and the girls are little. It is a long, long way to the ground for them. No major wrecks yet. They each have been taught emergency dismount. Luckily, they haven't had to execute the maneuver for real, only practice. Kadance has been a wonderful lesson horse. She is extremely patient and willing to cooperate with what is being asked of her. Of course, only from the girls. When the trainer, Ellen, or I ask, she sometimes shakes her head in defiance. Then, when asked to actually put forth some effort and shift into a higher gear, one above molasses, she periodically protests. My horse is much more Whoa than Go.
She was in good spirits this week.
