Picture's first!!!
Now for the words. I had attempted trotting twice but Lazy butt wouldn't go. She was getting sweaty and tired. But I had changed bits and that seemed to have helped ten-fold. I was very happy with my results today. I was more subconscious about where my legs were and using my legs to get her to bend around them with pressure. We ended after a half hour of progress. Then dad and I took them to graze. Dad has been one of my biggest supporters and I know I'm very thoroughly a Vandiver as I take after his side of the family very heavily.
The last picture of just dad reminds me of some of the only mental pictures I had of Grandpa Skip-some of which come from pictures that dad has.
Anyway, it's raining now so maybe the ground will be decent enough to ride again tomorrow, now that I know how to make Heidi work and I think I've got her going good. Now for us to get to trotting.
