Today I practiced my lounging skills. I am happy to say that I felt more confident than last time.
Bailey was very relaxed, responsive and forgiving of my mistakes. I was very thankful of that. Soon I had worked everything out and started to work on changes of directions.
Bailey's changes of directions were so light, responsive, quick, relaxed and balanced, and Bailey had her head low and relaxed. I was sooooooo pleased! I could have done a happy dance!
We also had one accidental lope! I had pushed Bailey a little too fast and firm. She loped two strides before I slowed her down by bringing my energy down. I have not planned on this little lope as Bailey was very nervous the last time Amanda asked her to lope on the ground. We then went right back to practicing changes of directions.
I thought we would try the trotting figure eight. You know, the trotting figure eight that prevented me from passing level two with Alex? Anyway we tried it and the results were awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bailey looked so awesome and balanced and light!!!!!! I was so excited!!!!!!! Our progress is rocketshooting as the changes of directions at the walk and trot will help with a lot of other things.
