riding again ...between showers

I knew it was going to rain before too long, and wasn't sure driving up quite how fit I was - but got on anyway.

concentrated on trying to get some nice trot paces, which I got, and then worked on walking and halting and serpentines. I'm as much trying to get myself right to get her right, as I am on her right if you see what I mean.

And after 25 minutes it started raining, but by that time I'd got the nice work that i wanted for the evening (bearing in mind the b. she was sunday) so that was a good note to end on, I was pleased with the walk serpentines, the turns were not too bad if I say so myself.

but the saddle slipped. partly my own fault as I hadn't done the girth up enough (to keen to get something done before it rained, I think!)

Tomorrow we're going togo up to annfield plain, a saddler whose been there as long as I can remember is havinga closing down everything half price sale this week only, so can't miss that (although most of the good stuff will have gone yesterday, the firs day!)
