out on our own!

after a trundle round the arena, and getting a couple of canter transitions (if badly) i realised the saddle/suberpad - not sure which, really - had slipped so got off, sorted it out, and went back to the barn to get help getting back on. So then decided to try the 20 acre on my own. We did it, in trot, no trying to turn round, mega good. the only minor problem was that on the track back to the yard she tried to jump a puddle and i stopped her (i wanted her to go through it) and after that she felt like she's lame - but probably isn't. since we were nearly back by then we just walked back. But I was SO pleased with her.

Not sure I'm so pleased with the saddle, still ...... it's not the saddle as such I don't think (unless it's got a built in asymmetry .....) but getting the padding right underneath. the Suberpad is better than the grandeur, but it isn't right .....
