We’ve been schooling outside a bit – she’s much more upright and distracted out there.
Good stuff!
Mostly, I walk her on the property for conditioning on varying footing. Super helpful for her walk, so much more ground winning than a year ago. But when we’re allowed to go in one of the outdoor arenas it’s worth it with some schooling there!
Lately she’s been forward in canter, which is not usually her thing, only to become really strong if I get fooled into too much on the inside rein. Like this ⇓ 🙂 Then she just takes off with us both.
Or she’ll mix it up with a dead-stop fake-spook to keep things interesting. Mostly, I wait for her to take a breath, and then we go again as if nothing happened.
Riding Silverfish takes a lot of patience. All worth it!

As soon as it gets baking hot even before 10 am, I know we won’t be out there too much. Taking advantage when we can – show you more of that next week!
Carmen can stand like that too. They could be twins.

It’s the weirdest thing 😉 Must be in the blood! Doesn’t look very convenient though…

She’s worth it! Just because it’s so tricky, makes it even more fun when it actually works for a while here and there 🙂
Lots of pictures from the schooling ride in the outdoor coming up after the weekend!
