Baby Deuce grows up

This is my riding journal. It is meant to help document the
training of my young horse Deuce. I'm teaching him all about dressage,
but he teaches me so much too!

So brave

I just had an easy ride today. We did some poles and cavaletti work. I was finished riding and had turned Deuce outside when P got to the barn and asked if I could go out on the trails. I couldn't resist and we just planned on walking on the trail so I saddled Deuce up again and went with P and Jake on the trails. The two were not such a good pair because they were afraid of the same things. We had trouble getting accross the bridge and under the overpass, but after that it was a nice ride. I even trotted Deuce over a little log. He didn't want to jump it at first but once he did it felt really good!

He was really brave. I love doing fun stuff like that with him to break the monotony of the arena and circles.

Tommorow is his day off, then we have some gymnastic jumping and a dressage lesson planned this week. :)
