Erin rode Fancy Wednesday and Thursday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last lead change request going to the left was difficult.  She got the front leg switched, but not the back.  With Erin&#8217;s instruction, I kept asking for the back leg to switch, and three fourth of the arena, it did.  It was Miller Time (beer ad in a long ago forgotten era). I got off, rubbed her and loosened the cinch.  We stood out of the way watching the other riders take their turns.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My good friend and pal, Fancy nipped my hand. We had a four second discussion about that before the lesson for the other horses was finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I emerge as the lead mare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/mofoxtrot.com\/viewpoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/55D9B804-B190-4C67-A788-3CA315FF4DD2-400x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mofoxtrot.com\/viewpoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/55D9B804-B190-4C67-A788-3CA315FF4DD2-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/mofoxtrot.com\/viewpoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/55D9B804-B190-4C67-A788-3CA315FF4DD2-350x263.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mofoxtrot.com\/viewpoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/55D9B804-B190-4C67-A788-3CA315FF4DD2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mofoxtrot.com\/viewpoint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/55D9B804-B190-4C67-A788-3CA315FF4DD2.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption>Fancy&#8217;s natural fly sheet and beautiful fly mask to end our time today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a great day with Fancy.
