(On Line, 30 mins) Wow - after that
great session with Aspen and Jenny on Friday Aspen has really gotten down
the figure-8 pattern. She was just *doing* it! It was great, she was
on the pattern, focused, relaxed, and didn't get stuck in the right
corner once. We also played with some circling game looking for rhythm,
relaxation, and connection.

(Freestyle, 30 mins) Rode bareback today
since I can't bring myself to ride in my saddle after riding in the
Parelli saddle :) Played with partial disengagement and a million
transitions (walk/trot). Got some good trot strides that felt really
nice. Can't wait to see how she feels after another 5 or so times of
doing this. I felt really safe and connected on her as well. She was
very confident even in the screaming wind - which neither of us hardly
noticed as we were having so much fun together. :)
