Tank Top Tan Lines

Whisper has been riding incredible. I didn't want to post about it and jinx it, we're now on 9 consecutive rides where she's made strides of improvement each and every ride so it may be safe to say out-loud.


We've ridden with different horses in the ring, trotting past them, being passed by them at a canter and a trot, passing them at a trot, and cooling out walking side to side on a loose rein with other horses. We've jumped a tiny crossrail with other horses being ridden in the ring.

We've ridden in the rain (she was a little high that ride but it was also the first time we held a trot circle while another horse cantered a circle that put us side-by-side), in the full sun, and late into the cool evening.


We've started working canter and I've trotted her laps with completely slack reins yielding leg pressures and improving my upper body from the above picture.

By God a riding horse is starting to emerge...
