LBR had a training ride today.

After work, Gary & Cindy headed over to the stables for a trail ride. Cindy rode "J" and he was a good trail horse. LBR was his usual mellow self.

Gary rode LBR today. They had a nice arena ride followed by a trail ride around the property. They focused on flat work with a few cross-rails before their big adventure traveling all over the farm.

LBR had a training ride today. He was a good horse, but still a little rushing in the corners....will he ever stop that? Cindy rode 'J' again tonight and had a blast.

Gary visited LBR in the morning - trying to beat the heat. They loaded in the trailer and then Gary lunged him in the newly leveled arena over jumps. After the ground work, Gary took LBR on a trail ride. They had fun and even conquered scarey black plastic and ditches...YAY!

Gary & Cindy headed over to the stables in the evening for Cindy to try a horse. 'J' is older, a packer and very seasoned. The trainer rode first and then Cindy rode. 'J's feet were a bit tender from being shod today.

Cindy will try him again later this week....pictures to be included.

It's Monday and LBR's day off - no visit.

Cindy took a lesson on LBR today. It went well eventhough Cindy didn't canter him. The arena is too uneven and slippery in her opinion.

They finished the lesson with a 6 jump course of cross-rails and brushboxes.

YAY!

The plans were originally to go to a one day show, but the trainer cancelled and decided to go on a trail ride. The location is a 2 hour drive each way so Gary & Cindy decided to pass.

They headed over to the stables in the morning to try and beat the heat (it's been > 100F degrees all week).

Cindy rode LBR in the arena and focused on flat work, collection and transitions. LBR rocked. Gary then rode LBR over a few jumps before cooling him off with a trail ride.
