I went out today to spend time and ride Molly...well since I've got her, she hasn't really understood her leads (which leg to lope on, depending on what side of the arena she's on...). Well, I've been taking time and trying to teach her, and today she finally caught on. Once while changing leads going down the diagonal..I brought her back to a trot for one stride then picked up her left lead, and twice while being asked to pick up a lope. She strongly favors her right lead, I think because of her bad knee, and rarely picks up the left, so it was a huge success for me. It's really nice to have finally taught her something useful. And then of course we got caught in the back pasture when a huge Florida rainstorm hit (I swear it was sunny 5 minutes before) and we got soaked, but I had a lot of fun. I haven't been able to get out to see her in about two weeks, I've been so busy. Anyways, thanks for listening!
