On Line ~ 1 hour

 

I am a bit stuck with Pip.  So we are diving into the old level 3, which is mostly L4 now.  It was very interesting.  We stayed in the Stage 1 booklet.  It was backing and going sideways with a bit more speed.  She did really good with both. :D 

What I found really interesting was how interested she was in me.  Her ears were focused on me almost the entire time.  Wow. I'm very happy about that!!  Pip picked up on things quickly, and stayed LB.  Perfect!!

Then we played with canter departs on the 22 foot line.  She does that at Liberty pretty well, so I figured that this wouldn't be too hard for her.  And she didn't prove me wrong.  She got them okay, but they do need some work.  Or, play.  She had really good impulsion, so I figured we might as well play with flc's.  Pip would change in front almost every time, but she didn't make a clean change once.  That's okay, I'm just happy that she is maintaining gait (mostly).  Its only the first day. :D  And the fact that Pip may be able to do flc's one day is enough for me!!  I never thought it would happen.

 

Play on,
