2/18/13 Practice Ride

I did a practice ride today to make up for last Friday when we got the blizzard.  I rode Vincent and with him I like to do a lot of bending where he is older.  We did serpentine's, figure 8's and direction of changes.  We also did halts and some turn on haunches to help him sit more on his hind end.  I also worked on my IDA test (training 1).  I have ridden the test before, so it is coming along nicely; I need to remember to gather reins on the free walk before" H"!  I always seem to space out then  Vincent was good :)
