We are behind in our Darr posts! It’s been a busy time with
work, school , Christmas parties, shopping and traveling to the States. Sarah rode Darr on Monday, December 17th –
walk, trot and canter. We were working around a lesson, so there was a lot of stop-and-go, but she got a couple
solid canters in, consisting of a few laps each. On Wednesday, December 19th, we
had an excellent lesson with Erin. We
worked on trotting, including small circles at 3, 6, 9 and 12 on the clock, and
a few laps of controlled canter (as opposed to more “open canter” that Sarah
tends toward in our training rides. We had a good chat with Erin at the end of
the lesson about bits, and controlling Darr since he is so strong and wanting
to go fast (and if he were jumping, to probably go BIG). Jenny, this is a great time for you to jump
into the conversation with Erin.
We also handed over the reins to Erin, in terms of Darr’s
exercise while we are in Florida. We figured that she is the best judge of who
in the barn is a suitable rider for Darr, so she will look after arranging that
in our absence. She knows that Jenny is coming on the 24th and that
Victoria may visit, too.
We will be missing riding while we are away! Happy holidays
to everyone. Pleased keep us posted J
