I ended up taking a quick trip up to Rapid City with a student to watch the cowhorse & ranch classes during the Black Hills Stock Show Horse Show on Monday & Tuesday, but we've sure enjoyed the weather during the second half of the week & are looking forward to the 50° weather that's forecasted for next week!
This week was a bit of a review week after nearly two weeks off. Even with the time off from riding, Rosie saddled & rode off great with minimal groundwork. We continued to work on bend at the walk, some bending transitions, vertical flexion at the standstill, draw to a stop, & backing.
Next week, we'll continue to progress on our previous exercises while also heading out for Rosie's first gravel road rides here during the nice weather. We'll also take advantage of the nice weather to rebraid manes & tails & potentially wash them as well.
