Phoebe & Windy: OUR 4TH WEEK TRAINING IN FL

Windy's uphill power is starting to become second nature in her medium paces.

Windy is truly beginning to sit and sustain engagement in all of her canter work.

Counter canter in both directions is completely confirmed...finally!! As many people know, the right lead canter has been a struggle as flying changes are so easy for Windy. And, I am so pleased to report that most days, her right lead is even better balanced then her left...yeah!!

Windy's straightness has improved immensely in all of her work.

My girl continues to improve every day. Her intelligence and work ethic make her such a joy to ride. She is ready to show 2n level and is quite solid in all of the 3rd level work as well. Flying changes are so easy for her, but I have to be careful not to do too many she likes them too much! Her balance has become impressively uphill in all of her work and she is going to absolutely nail her canter pirouettes. I have always known that Windy is going to shine in the upper levels and she is confirming my beliefs with every ride. I anxiously await returning to MD in a few weeks and having the opportunity to introduce the double bridle before the region 1 show season begins. Exciting times ahead with my special girl. Ahhh, she reminds me so much of Lester.....
