Cricket: August 19

This week, we've continued to progress & refine our previous exercises & maneuvers with a focus on Shoulder In/Out & Sidepassing. I also introduced the Turnaround, which she's picked up fairly well. We also practice a bit of rail work in preparation for the 2 YO Pleasure Class at the horse show in a couple of weeks. I'm quite happy with how Cricket has been doing! I decided to leave playing with the training ball until next week. Next week, Cricket will probably have a day or two off with the extreme high temps & a couple short early morning rides as we continue working in the arena & playing with the training ball. - Lexy Nuesch

Next week's update will be posted on Saturday.

I do my best to get these updates posted in a timely manner, but it's not uncommon for me to be outside until after dark, depending on the weather, my schedule, & who gets worked when so updates will sometimes be posted quite late in the evening. Don't be alarmed if you don't see your update right away. In rare cases, I may have to push them until the next morning, but I'll reach out & let you know if so.
