Thursday, December 22

Today I am grateful for:

Decent temperatures (though the wind was coooold).

My sweetie cleared more snow.

We had the drywall person come and look around, and he will give us an estimate.

We went to see River; I had a lesson today. We worked on fine tuning groundwork in preparation for Liberty work, a little Liberty work, and ponied a green horse that R is working with. Ponying means to lead the horse while you are also on a horse. R wanted me to pony this little horse so she could ride her, and keep her moving forward. She found that this horse was not that comfortable trotting on their own, and she would just go back to a walk in her training rides. R thought that this mare would trot better if led, and would get some confidence with having another horse trotting with her. It all went well, and the little mare trotted beside River a few times nicely.

R was chatty today, and our lesson time was very social.

We came home and watched another episode of "The Queen's Gambit".
