20 minutes ground driving Midnight in the wind. She's working a little better but still putting her tongue over the bit. Hope to work through it. She's been in season the last week and a little bit of an attitude.
90 minutes ground driving Zorro today with one line. He was wonderful mixed with a bit of crazy. He can't be perfect every day I'm very excited to be heading to a driving clinic this weekend! We have been trying to get over there for 4 months!! With the new horse trailer the weather can't hold us back any longer... whoot whoot!
Hope!you had fun at the clinic. Looks like your snow is slowly going, that must be nice. I am living in The Land of Perpetual Mud. But at least now it is warm mud.
That looked like lots of fun! I have a hard time with the marathon courses. My mind just can't process it for some reason (perhaps because I have a hard time telling left from right) Cones I can remember OK, but not the obstacle (barrel) part, I just get completely lost . It's really bad, lol.
Zorro scoots nicely right around those turns, doesn't he? Good boy!
I’m a little late to the party but I have been keeping track of our drives...Coady and I are at 180 minutes for the year, all in the awesome Hyperbike! Now that the weather in PA finally seems like it is leveling out I hope to start getting serious...it’s time for he and I to get some miles under our belt. Mindy, that clinic looked like so much fun, and Zorro never ceases to amaze! He’s such an awesome little trooper!
This sounds amazing, Mindy! I've had a few driving lessons and clinics the last years, but never with my own ponies. Hopefully we will do this soon. I will have a look next weekend on a drivers training in a driving school. Maybe it will be an option for us to start visiting trainings there.
But, we've had an awesome driving weekend on our own!
4/2: 40 minutes for Teddy
4/5: 20 minutes for the team Teddy/Massai/Moony
4/6: 30 minutes for Teddy, 20 minutes for Massai and 70 minutes for Moony
4/7: 70 minutes for the team Massai/Moony/Teddy
I noticed we got faster than last year... We needed 40 minutes last year for a route we now make in 20 I need some new routes soon! But there's a lot of traffic around us.
50 minutes for Dapper Dan today. A little breezy, but overall a great day to drive. Wind warnings tomorrow then chances of snow for the next day. Spring is certainly over rated as a season, imho...
30 minutes ground driving Midnight. Last 10 minutes was ground driving with the pvc travois. She didn't care about it a bit. She still doesn't rein very well yet but hopefully will improve.
Opened my eyes this morning and couldn't figure out why everything was so darn BRIGHT! I was getting ready to google this heavenly phenomenon when I realized it was the SUN!
I tossed the harness on Peanut and we had a great walk, worked on some stretching and once he warmed up practiced having him "follow through" with his hindquarters when turning. It was a nice, peaceful morning.
