Grace's Day of Review

Today I gave Grace a review day, to practice things she has learned and is good at.  This builds confidence and lets her think about the information without adding new material to process.  Plus everything at the facility is buried in six inches of snow and it's kind of wet underneath, so we're a little limited on athletic endeavors due to sloppy footing.

She seems very comfortable with the saddle, stirrups, and working on the lunge line.  I love how she's beginning to get more balanced and is using her haunches much better, just from a bit of practice working in circles.

Routine dictates that we inspect the mounting block before working from it.

Practice standing and mounting from the right.  Grace stands like a champ.

Practice standing and mounting from the left, also waiting like a solid citizen.
