Lesson Learned

Today would have been great, but I think I screwed it up by riding Deuce for too long. He was very forward and connected after the warm up and was doing nice 10 meter circles. Then I cantered him and was very satisfied with the ride. I decided that he was pretty much done but that I would do leg yield at the walk while I cooled him out. This turned into a bit of a fight and then Deuce started baccking off the leg and not being forward and into the bridle. We somewhat recovered, but I feel badly that I didn't just stop the ride on a much better note. I guess I'll just do an easy, relaxed ride tommorow and won't ask much of him. I feel badly that the ride turned out this way. Can't wait for another ride tomorrow and am very thankful that Deuce is so forgiving. I have a great horse and I hope I never forget that.
