quick update- i've been slack

So it's been a long while since I've been on here, sorry! I've been very busy riding!!! Yes, I'm working on my freestyle and I am now confidently riding on my own in the round yard and paddock. Archie has been perfect, of course, so I decided to take him to the recent play day where we played online which was awesome, and then i hopped on for 20 min in the arena where other people were riding and playing online, Archie was so good, a little more animated but my confidence is such that I was okay with that. I am riding once to twice a week, not this week as Archie threw a shoe and was a bit tenderfooted. Also it's been really hot! But back to is Tuesday, I am working on my million transitions with the walk and trot, and follow the rail in the 60 foot round yard. Feeling good and progressing. Also on the lookout for a new levels partner as Archie is 24 and is slowing down a little. I don't want to work him into the ground, he's earned an easy retirement! I'll check in sooner next time :oP
