Goat session

About a 1 hour session this morning. The goats were in the back pasture with full access to the arena, but they ignored us anyway. First half was flat work--shoulder in and travers and the walk and trot. Started renvers--looked solid. Losing impulsion at the trot on lateral work. Need to release him more into the extensions. Go go go. Walk halt walk looking good. Trot halt trot still sketchy. Great neck extension all around.

Second half jumping. Set up two cavaletti 12' apart as an in and out. Tight turns in the small arena, but he did great. Took full loops around the pasture at a canter. Butter smooth all around.
