Let's RIDE (w/ pictures!)

Oh yes. I have actual, honest-to-God photographic evidence of my butt on Stella's back in forward motion. Ladies and gentleman, I give you: LBM.





(I have no idea what I was doing with my reins here....)



Look at that square halt! That was after a lot of lateral flexions...I can't remember what she was looking at, but her attention was certainly not on me.





FIRST CANTER EVER! It was like riding a Harley Davidson with really out of whack steering: because she's weak in the hind end, she had a really hard time maintaining a canter and basically ended up spiraling in on a circle until she broke to a trot. This picture was taken right after a nice little buck to pick up the left lead, which she promptly lost (it's the harder lead for her). Whatever, all I wanted was to do a test run: she's clearly not balanced enough or ready for canter, so we're going to leave that for a bit.

Weeeeeeehaw!
