I rode Monday evening in the arena. Red and I worked on his transitions in circles on the corners of the arena. He did a great job. It was starting to sprinkle when we got out of the arena and the was POURING buckets while we stood on the wash rack. I had to move Red to the middle because he didn't really care for the water splashing in his face when he was tied in the corner.
Tuesday morning I got out to the barn at 6:25 AM. That is EARLY. Got Red saddled and was riding at 6:53. He was sluggish and not interested in working. Esther arrived and she noted he was breathing heavy - we had just been walking and a little jogging. We worked on transitions and then worked over poles. Red is extremely trainable. He is a good boy. I got off and there was just a little sweat under his saddle. Poor guy. I am doing everything I can to make him comfortable.
