Conditioning Track

We got a nice ride in yesterday on the new conditioning track. Three 5-minute trot sets and one 2-minute canter. Brego came off fine and rearing to go, but I want to tone it down for a bit to see how he bounces back.

My riding buddy was having a quarrel with her TB about the spooky farm equipment around the track. Brego and I just cruised on by. It's times like this that I really appreciate his brain. He's not the fastest runner or the highest jumper, but each ride is that much more pleasant because he is so settled.

I am going to do some light dressage today to keep up with the bending work and then Brego gets tomorrow off.

I am already practicing my "Ware hole!" for Saturday!!! Can't wait!!
