Unfortunately the most critical time period falls *just* when I will be tacking up Trump. Sigh.

I may scratch out of Training 1. His canter today was pretty awful to the left (I had the new spurs on, and they were no help.) He was unsteady and looking for ways to get out of it. Or I may just plow ahead and let the judge whistle us out if she thinks he's lame. For some reason he did better when we went into canter from several strides of sitting trot. Canter to the right started badly, but got better quickly.
