Last week update!

Been a busy week and we have got a lot done!

We have been riding freestyle and finesse in the arena. Been to Umatilla and went out on the trails there.

In the freestyle we have been working on the patterns and our responsibilities. Citos is: maintain gait, maintain direction and look where you are going. Cito is following the rail good now and starts to relax more and focus. This week we will start with question box in the freestyle. You can still ride the patterns but you place out a couple of cones so every time you go in that "box" something is going to happen.

In the finesse we have  been riding some circles for relaxation and roundness. Also done some stretching for lengthen.

We didnt go to the Parelli ranch, I misunderstood. But we did go to Umatilla, the place I was talking about before were they got a big indoor arena and nice trails. While Lauren was teaching me and Fabian went out with Cito and Saige. He was good! We trotted some and Cito seemed to enjoy it.

I also rasped Citos feet. Just took a little so they look nice. He was very good at standing still and keep his hoof still.

When we were gone Billy was fine. We put one of Laurens horses in the pasture next to him. He got a hay net to nubble on and was all good when we came back.
