June 13!

My best guess is that the off billet tore and scooted the girth over and goosed her.  We had been riding for about a half hour, she was doing well, no issues at all.  It's the first time she's tried that under saddle so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, though she's "that type" in general so it's no huge surprise.

I know what we need to work on though!  1) one rein stops and 2) my own reaction time in getting her pulled around.  

Richard Boatwright I'm sure there is - do you have set in stone facility requirements, so I can start looking around a bit?

I'm about an hour south of Chicago.  Anything close?

Replying to myself, to see if it bumps this up.  Richard Boatwright

It was brutal cold last night, and we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow.  While I like that the ground isn't mud, chiseling poop off the ground isn't my idea of fun.  

Richard Boatwright thanks!  Hopefully she will turn a corner and then progress will come faster.  In the meantime, it takes as long as it takes.  

Richard Boatwright She's generally an unfortunate looking thing - I tell her all the time she'd be prettier if she'd put her head down... 

Eventually I think she's going to be kind of fancy, but getting ahold of her brain has been proving a challenge.  She's definitely got an edge on her.  

Richard Boatwright i tried to get some today.  It would only let me record a bit because of memory on the phone, i should be able to get more video tomorrow.  

I'll shoot it to your email.  

I don't believe I get a notification - if I do it gets filtered and I don't see it.
