August 16, 2011 - Out on the grass

I rode later again today, around sunset.  We went out into the grass field for the whole session, starting with longeing as a kind of "away from home" practice in preparation for going to a show.  I didn't ask him to canter on the longe, deciding that might be a bit much to expect.  Rory was very good at the walk and trot despite the temptation of the green grass under his feet.  He had a bit of trouble getting the left canter lead again, and turning was difficult once he'd gotten the lead.  I did a lot of point to point riding to practice straight lines.
