Pony Club - 23/10/12

Had a great session at pony club rally this evening. The first rally for us this season, although the second for Massey due to me being at School Camp. Dressage with the AMAZING Ginny Thompson. So excited to have her as my instructor for the season! Sky was a bit of a slug after not being in work for a week. Did a lot of without stirrups work, which was a bit bad on my back, and a lot of work with poles. She taught us this great exersize where you have 5 poles spaced 5 meters apart and you will walk (or trot/canter) in, and between the poles do a circle to the opposite side. It works well, and Sky was much more flexible by the end of it. We did lengthing and extending through canter poles as well, which FAILED EPICLY!!!! Rebecca came and watched him, and was pleased by what she saw. I think. Really looking forward to rally next week, although I will be away this weekend.
