Partially Poor Polework

I've no one to blame for the poor polework session with Kika but myself. I don't know what was wrong with me, i think i just ran out of energy & as such motivation. She wasn't bad per se, but in typical Kika fashion she wasn't exactly helping me either - again not her fault. I am sure I was being unclear in my instructions, my right arm was aching which means I must have been tensing the muscles (what little there is on me) - again unproductive towards a better spin.

She was holding a lot of tension in her jaw and wasn't really paying attention to me although again not bad just not relaxing as she had done yesterday. I hold my hand up and take full responsibility for this meh spin, if i had brought my A game we'd have gotten better work although as i said what I got wasn't bad it just wasn't as good as it has been recently.

No new pictures of the girls today,
so some spillover from yesterday

I had ridden Nancy first and really concentrated on our walk & trot work, trying to implement the instructions I could remember from our lesson on Thursday.  The spin went much better then yesterday, there was no curling in on herself or evasion tactics or rather none that stand out in my mind as I type this.

My amazing yard just keeps getting better - yep they have invested in a fancy new equine treadmill! We've had a lot of injured horses these last few years that have needed long periods of hand walking - enter the treadmill. So while it's awesome, I hope at the same time that my girls don't need it!

I really can't complain, they are such good girls, if i can get my head right & brush up my skills we'll get there with baby steps. ☺
I hope to lunge Kika tomorrow, ride Nancy and reverse those schooling patterns on Tuesday before riding both on Wednesday before they get 5 days off for my long weekend At a family gathering in Ireland next weekend.
