Week of March 18th.
This week I did a practice ride on Riley on Wednesday, but we didn't do too much as he was stiff from spring shots the previous day. On Friday I had a lesson and rode Asti, and tonight I rode Riley again. Tomorrow I will have a lesson on Riley to make up for missing one during the last week of break.

Hey everyone! (Week of February 25, 2013)
Hey guys! Thanks to everyone who got their blog posts for the week done on time. It was nice to hear about your rides! Just a reminder, make sure that you post about both your practice rides and lessons. You should be getting in one of each every week.
I hope you all have a wonderful break! Make sure you communicate with Bryn and Becky regarding scheduling over the break! Also, I strongly encourage you to follow your teammates' blogs, since a lot of you are posting great recaps of your rides, and what you're working on. See below (very end) if you want instructions on how to do this.
Just so that I'm keeping up with everyone, here is a recap of my week.
Tuesday, Feb. 26 - I had a practice ride on Riley tonight. I have been working a lot on counter canter lately, and have been pushing through backwards issues. I have been trying to be softer overall, so I feel that we've been having nicer moments, but I just need to work on making it consistent ;)
Wednesday, Feb. 27 - Another ride on Riley. More counter canter work, half transitions in the trot, haunches in and leg yielding. A little backwards a couple times but not a big issue.
Friday, March 1 - I had my weekly lesson with Ali, and I rode Riley. We worked on Training 2, and mainly I needed to be more forward and rounder while tracking left (which is typical). The second time through the test was better though. Just little things need to be worked on like coming down center line, practicing square halts (sometimes Riley's haunches swing out), etc.
Saturday, March 2- My Saturday night ride on Riley. We sort of just had a stretchy ride tonight. Did some counter canter work, and 10 m figure eights at the trot, but lots of stretchy trot and just forward canter work. We jumped a few times too :)
Sunday, March 3- I will have a half hour private lesson with Becky to make up for missing my lesson last week due to the Heather Blitz clinic.
