Interesting new things happening the last few weeks. Playing on the 45 foot line more. Chiclet and I both love it. He likes having more room and I feel he's still with me 45 feet away. I used to use the 45 and it was like flying a kite. Those days are over thank goodness. Yesterday he had the most wonderful canter all the way at the end of the line. Ride the rail is awesome now we trot the whole field with canter here and there he stays soft and I just use sideways when he get a little tight. I never thought I would be able to ride a straight line. Today played and then got on to ride and Chiclet was tripping alot at one point he fell to his knees. We played with walk trot alot. I didn't realize it but Chicle had lost a shoe when we were riding. I kinda felt bad because maybe that's why he was tripping. Farrier coming out tomorrow to fix it. Last shoeing he put leather rim pad on him to help his weak walls and I think it's really is helping.
Big day for us on sunday. We are doing our first hunter pace in Westport MA along the Horseneck River. It's a 9 mile pace. I got a little nervous today when I heard that there will be around 100 riders there. That means 98 unnatural riders. I wonder what the hunter pace people will think when they see us grazing our horses long the pace.
