This week, as much as I was looking forward to making the trek down the gravel road for Newt's first big outside ride, we stuck to the arena. I found out that I had been battling viral conjunctivitis paired with a cold & the wind/dust have not helped the situation (also why I did not get any photos/videos this week). All of this week I rode in spurs & Newt has been doing well! We loped many circles, worked on stopping & backing with a bit more effort, & introduced a steering exercise called Circle & Circle.
Next week, we've got another stellar week of March weather forecasted without the high winds. Lows may not even be below freezing. We'll definitely get some nice miles down the gravel roads this next week.
