Hi
I'm glad you are having fun in New York.
Miles and I have started cantering in between the lines of jumps but I also like to make sure he is listening and every once in a while I make him trot in between the lines. I rode him on Saturday and he was spooking at a loud sound that the people behind us were making.
Miles and I are joining a drill team. Kathy said that if the team is good enough she will enter us in a competition or demonstration.
Miles has only been turned out with a horse named Cannon. Cannon is a horse Kathy rescued and his hoof had holes in them when he came so he doesn't run as fast as Miles.
I'm having trouble keeping Miles going at the canter when we lunge and he is slow when we lunge but then when I get on him he mysteriously finds new energy and turns hyper on me!
Have fun in New York!
