Ride #6:
Just great all around. I didn't do anything real big and crazy to scare her. She does not like the carrot stick at all and gets tense and scared every time I pick it up. So that's something we need more work on. We did walk around and trot after Carolyn and Savannah and she seemed to do fine. Then they left and we stayed walking around and trotting around the arena and she did want to go eat the weeds but for the most part did awesome.
I am trying really hard not to micromanage her and only pick up the reins when I want a change. So I was on the bareback pad and would hold onto the loop and middle of the rein with the outside hand and had the other one ready to pick up and turn or shut her down if she objected. That seemed to mostly help me from being too quick about grabbing the reins. I was super happy with her and cant wait to try the canter.
