The round pen has fairly deep sandy footing.\u00a0 That’s why Sue canters in there so well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sue doesn’t canter in the arena with me riding.\u00a0 Oh maybe a step or two now and then when I have a pole for her to lift up her front end.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I ride her, she is\u00a0still nervous when I put pressure on her to go faster.\u00a0 If we are trotting and I put pressure on her to go faster, we disintegrate.\u00a0 (Sue does a lot of disintegrating.)\u00a0Occasionally I’ll get a couple of canter steps and then we disintegrate into every foot doing something different.<\/span><\/p>\n

I”ll have to take a mounting stool and go into the round pen.\u00a0 We must canter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today she was cantering in the round pen with the three beat canter.\u00a0 From my middle point, I raised up my stick in front of her and she did a sliding stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, really.\u00a0 I couldn’t believe it either.\u00a0 We tried the other direction and she has a nice stop.\u00a0 It’s only to the left that she has a sliding stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still marveling.\u00a0 It must mean she is putting that weight back on her rear end and cantering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, that’s it.\u00a0 I must ride in the round pen. I hate the mounting stool.\u00a0 I hate having the mounting stool being in the round pen when I’m running around.\u00a0 It diverts my attention.\u00a0 I do have my little peculiar oddities.\u00a0 I’m not perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
