New post secret.

I do this.   I don’t PUT pennies on the ground, but if I see a penny and its’ tails up (not good luck) then I flip it over and leave it for the next person to have good luck.

Today I got to sleep in.  very yay.  Had a good morning.  Then I went out and had a late breakfast with Mere, then headed to the barn.  I tacked up Cook and we headed down to the ring with Mere to work on getting the lead over the fence.  So a couple of environmental things  - Cook hadn’t been ridden in a number of days, there was no other horses down there or around, it was thundering / storm coming and she had been in all night.  I was fully prepared for Cook to act up.   Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst.  Cook was absolutely as good as she could be under the circumstances.  She was very UP, had ALOT of horse under me and she kept me on my toes.  She got a lil fussy at the end but she was extremely entitled to it…  I was asking her for alot, she was alone and the bottom was about to drop out of the clouds above us.  In fact, it started raining as we were walking back up to the barn.  I was really glad for the time I got to spend with Mere alone.  It helped alot.

Sooo, the thing we worked on today was specifically getting the lead over the fence.  Cook knows what to do… I’m trying to catch up to her intelligence and learn how to ask her for what I want.  We did end on good notes, she was getting it when I asked (hard).   I’m trying to ask quieter and still be quieter over the fences.  The right lead was worse than the left… but that’s our bad side and we need to work a lil harder on that side anyway.

I am trying to keep my fingers closed but I need to still really work on my hands.

Really happy with her effort today.  Really happy.
