I had my first lesson of 2016 yesterday. I've learned that Athena is a little sassy and only likes doing things her way. I suspect this is partly due to her 10 year hiatus where she was used as a broodmare and didn't have to really work. So the goals...
- Better flat work, including more consistently getting her right lead and bending to the right
- Improve my seat with no-stirrups work
- Stretch more, both me and Athena
- Shows. I'm not sure which yet but there will be some
- Fox hunting
- Possibly cross country schooling
I love how much improvement we've had since switching barns 3 months ago. It makes me so excited to be progressing and seeing change in Athena.
Also, car troubles suck.
Happy New Year!
