After Cindy got home from work, she and Gary headed over to visit LBR. Today is Thursday so there were group lessons in the sand arena. Gary brought LBR up from his paddock while Cindy staged the grooming supplies and tack. Gary groomed LBR and tacked him up. Cindy mounted LBR in the sand arena and walked around a bit before heading to the grass arena for their ride. She focused on flex work at the walk and trot - including a lot of leg yielding. LBR was fantastic. He yielded perfectly to legs, carried the bit well and was generally very happy. They cantered for a bit before wrapping up the ride on a walk on a loose rein. After their ride, Cindy rode him around the outside of the grass arena and back to the stables to cool him down.
