I went on a trailride with Missy today. It was fun, fun, fun. She did really well. She was a little cautious, but she didn't really spook. Once she looked at whatever it was she would walk right beside it and not even bat an eye.

Today I rode Missy western around the yard and worked on trotting. Missy even did a western jog. It was really fun. It's not going to be fun when school starts and I can't spend as much time with her though. She's been doing very well. After we were done riding we gave her a bath. She was spotless but I'm sure by now she'll have rolled in the mud.

Today I grazed Missy for two hours while I read my school books. Then I rode in the front yard and trotted a bit. After that Katherine rode, then my dad. When we were done I gave Missy a sponge bath because she was hot.

I rode on Sunday and Monday. Both days english and Missy did really well. I worked on stopping since that is Missy's weakness. She's been doing great! Katherine rode today a little and Missy acted just fine.

Friday
Maria came over in the morning. Maria helped me groom and tack up; my dad came home and then I rode. I warmed Missy up walking and trotting. Then I tried the jump. She did great over the first time then I got a refusal the second. I walked her over the jump two times then quit to reward her.

Monday
I rode Missy english. She did awesome. I also jumped over a cross rail then a small vertical. She did well with one nockdown out of around eight jumps, the rest she cleared pretty well. After I was done jumping I worked on extending her walk then trotting. She did pretty well but we need to work on maintaining her extended walk and not breaking into a trot. I have a cold so I might not ride for a couple days but can't wait to work on jumping and her gaits again. After I was done my dad rode her twice around.

Missy got her hooves trimmed today. By my dad. They actually look pretty good. And he worked on making them more upright because they were getting rather flat. I'm riding tomorrow and probably jumping. It'll be fun!!
