Riding again

The last time I really rode consistently was Isis’ show back in July. I rode Rajiyyah today and really felt slippery in the saddle (didn’t help I was wearing linen pants). Boy do I need to get my legs back in shape!

Any way… She was good today. Full of energy and excitement, but overall she paid attention and seemed to have fun. This was the first time I had ridden her since our ‘fight’ about a week and a half ago. She was nervous at first about the spot where the water puddle had been, but she went through it in hand and under saddle. Overall, a good ride. She was hotter than usual, but it’s getting cooler and she’s in heat. Boy is she in heat. She teased to a 2 year old filly while I was riding.

    Since Kasane has been undersaddle, we’ve gradually discovered and corrected several problems. We did a saddle fitting and discovered that my Courbette Magic dressage saddle didn’t fit her at all. Got a new saddle which made a huge difference. Over this past winter, I’ve noticed Kasane moving oddly on her back legs. For example, her…
