Second Ride in The Big Arena
A beautiful Summer day so decided to go to the barn after work when it’s cooler and ride Mira again in the big arena. Tacked Mira up and rode over. Unlike some of the other thoroughbreds off the track, Mira does not need longeing before riding, kind if nice!
Rode Mira over this time but the gate was closed and couldn’t maneuver enough on her(gotta work on that backing!)to open the gate so dismounted and got back on standing on a fence(did I mention the fact that I am a “mature” rider?). Mira seemed happy to be working and again responded to voice commands and aides very nicely. We did walk, trot and whoa both directions and some bending and circles. She is building her stamina and really is honest. I wonder what her canter is like? I decide she is doing well enough to try and ask for a canter from a trot. What an awesome mare! Very comfortable canter and so calm and steady and lowers her head nicely. I am so happy with this mare! Did someone say Stud Muffin?
