Fun Fun Fun

Rode Ben again today. Around 11 in the morning. The farrier had come around 8 and trimmed his feet nicely. Fixed, or at least i hope he fixed the crack in Ben's hoof. I saddled Ben up around 11 and rode him out in to the field/arena area. He did really well today. A bit frisky at first but calmed right down after a circle or two at the trot. He was amazing trotting though. I swear the horse is finally grasping the concept of bending around my leg. It made me smile a lot. I didn't have my ipod today and i'm thinking riding without music is better for me. It'll help me concentrate on the horse more. I cantered him a bit today too. He went amazing on the left lead. Not so great on the right. He cuts in and won't circle, its frustrating but i'll get around it. I jumped him over a few cross-poles today too. He was amazing. He still rushes them a bit but he'll learn not too.
