Sunday 2-phase

@ Cutter Farm in Dracut MA. Ride times:
Alice - Dressage 10:12, Jump 10:44
Me - 10:40, 11:10

Which means we could use not only ground help, but a second video machine and operator if we are to get both my Dressage and Alice's Jumping. No horse experience necessary, just an ability to follow instructions.

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.

PS -- I will see if I can get Ben out of bed early enough to video for you. My schedule is something like this:

11:29 -- Intro B
11:00 -- on Trump
10:45 -- tack up
10:30 -- get ME ready (boots, hair net etc.)
10:00 -- groom Trump
9:30 -- walk Feronia
