Caroline working on getting Picasso to match her steps to achieve better extensions.
Super proud of Beth she said no way I’m jogging with no fencing. Not only did she do a ton of jogging she did a lot of it not holding on!
Beth out of her element riding in our no fencing ring. To get her out of her head we worked on riding focusing her eyes on the path of travel so her body naturally gave cues to direct Cotton.
Abby putting her body position work into action over obstacles
Abby working on using focal points to keep her eyes ahead of her path of travel and body position controlling the direction of travel.
Some slow work with Carol and Lena just getting the feel of when she is up and working freely out of her shoulders.
Transitions without fidgeting hands.
Taryn and Milly - Ranch Pattern. She showed off her Saddleseat roots with her knee action.
Steph and Kadee - Ranch Pattern. Note to self new jeans, smooth leather seat and pony dying to explode is not the best combination.
Caroline and Picasso - Ranch Pattern
Jenn and Cooter - Ranch Pattern
Steph and Kadee’s 4th place obstacle run. Kadee was on fire all day and had some issues settling in to focus on the task at hand but she did get it done.
Taryn and Milly - completed every obstacle! Milly was too busy being spicy to focus but Taryn stuck with it and calmly convinced Milly to complete every obstacle.
Jenn and Cooter’s 6th place obstacle run. Jenn made great choices, stopping to breathe, making Cooter go close to obstacles he didn’t like and just stand quietly before moving to the next. They left the ring with a positive experience and a few really nicely done movements.
Abby and Cotton’s second place obstacle run. She made huge improvements in two weeks to improve her scores.
