Life is good!

Had a great day with Chiclet today. It was very warm today 77 so Chiclet was not really into moving his feet. Only spent 10 minutes online got on and walked for a long time did lots of leg yields his hind end was lagging a bit. Trot was ok took forever for the stretch to happen. Canter is something that I need to learn how to ride. Chiclet is very much in front of my leg and I'm not sure how to ride this yet. I did transition in the question box trot to canter going to the left I got this amazing stretch for 3 strides and stopped and gave him almost all the cookies in my pocket. I love that feeling of the back coming up and the whole body relaxed it was only 3 strides but it was awesome. Canter going to the right I felt like he just wants to run I got him to stretch however I didn't get the same feeling as going to the left. I ended with the best grass and a walk around the field across the street. Back at the barn Chiclet got a well needed bubble bath all the winter dirt washed away yay!
