I halted Lea at X and made her back four steps before rubbing her shoulder in praise.

After a lap and changing direction across the diagonal, I collected my reins and asked for a canter. She easily picked up the gait from a walk. I couldn't help but smile a little, we'd been working on get her hindquarters stronger and it was finally really paying off.

I cantered around, cutting across the arena and doing a few lead changing, simple and flying.

I slowed to a walk and looked over. I shrugged. "I guess." I decided to push my consciousness away, deciding it was for the best.

"Okay." I squeezed Petri to a posting trot, keeping my hand still and heels down. He shook his head a little, and I gently increased the pressure on his mouth

I watched her trot, wondering if she was pulling a little to hard on the geldings mouth, but decided not to say anthign.
