After about a month of the routine Winnie has more stamina, and I think would drive herself to Stable 54 if we let her. Justine has grown more confident and instructor is tyring quiet ways to get Justine to stretch her abilities a little. Then we noticed Winnie was doing the same thing. With a little quicker paced trot, a slight jump motion as goes over ground poles then settle back down as if giving Justine exposure to new things and sizing her up. This pic was taken after the first time Justine cantored Winnie. The deal to get Justine to do it was 5 steps and Jolene would catch Winne, but things were going so well, ooops Jolene conveniently forgot to catch Winnie. Both horse and rider were proud. Winnie did the slowest smoothest cantor we had seen her do. She was really trying hard to take care of her rider.
