| I want to know if you guys think it was the pen throwing us off from the 1st barrel on and that's what cause our run to look like a jumbled mess, if there is a specific issue you see, or if you think she hurts still (coming back with vet OK after 2 years off and being rechecked next week to see if she's ok still after making a run).
I'm honestly too fraidy cat to post my run because I don't want to be torn apart but I wouldn't mind sending my run to people for opinions. This arena turned out to be HUGE. 76 entries and a 18.0 won it. This mare is usually 2D-3D but we were a 19.4 today. She is usually a free runner to the first but by the time we got there she was a butt dragger which means we didn't get by it very far. I think that error just dominoed. Lots of horses either died like mine and hardly made it around all 3 or RAN OFF because it's a big outdoor panel-made pen. Mine did a mixture of both lol. |

| I am big on basics. How much work do you do on basics ? How much slow work did you do on slow work? If I was bringing one back I would make sure they were working slow to perfection before I moved on. |

This mare can slow work with a string around her neck. She is as fancy broke as fancy broke gets. Wednesday night I walked, trotted and loped her through at a friends house in an o-ring. She didn't even flick an ear at me. Super light, super correct, super calm. I walked them stopping at my rate points, hip in and walked a step or two by the barrel with her should up. Trotting I sat at my rate points and walked around the barrels. Loping I sat and she went into her pretty collected lope and as soon as we round led 3 and I sat and relaxed, so did she and she just walked off with her head down. No nerves, very responsive. |

Good. Always need to do your homework. In two years time it is so easy for a horse to forget those important cues and a rider does as well. |
