I'm having my fourth lesson on Dandy today. I started him on Strategy feed this weekend (not much), and he was HYPER on the trail last night. Much better than his usual sluggish attitude. I did the whole loop at J bar S and mostly practiced trotting and cantering in two point. It's hard to keep my calves on him and not pinch my knees in two point, because I have a 35 in inseam. My lower legs want to swing out to support the weight of my upper body. I have to work on staying tall and keeping my shoulders back. Damn my heavy monkey arms!

Dandy got a lovely pedicure by the farrier before our ride and he definitely needed it!
