Samantha Thorning with Aspen, (On Line, 15 mins) Warmed up with circles and changes of direction.

Samantha Thorning with Aspen, (Freestyle, 30 mins) Had a great short ride on Aspen, lots of relaxation right away, a few jumps, some great canter and then to top it off a great stop and backup with no reins! :D 

Lucy & Aspen

Had a great session OL and FS with Aspen today.  Played with the weave and game of effort/cantering on the circle to warm up then hopped on and did a passenger lesson with Steady Rein to encourage relaxation and stretching then moved on to the canter.  Had relaxation and more rhythm much sooner today so after a few good laps of canter I called it quits for the day.  It's amazing what progress we're making right now... I wonder what's changed for us? Whatever it is, I'm happy for it! :D
