I'm a couple days behind posting on my last ride, but things have been a bit busy of late. I went out Wednesday night and the barn had finally started to dry up a bit. I rode in the small paddock and we worked mostly on circles and maintaining gait. He had a nice relaxed (read: slow) trot and was pretty good about listening even with the large pile of hay working as a distraction. It was a brief ride maybe 30 minutes in length, but I felt like we both had a session. He was rewarded with enjoying that big pile of hay at the end of it.
