Adhering to my plan for two point improvement, I hopped on Gina Sunday while Johnny worked on trotting with Moe. I clocked in at 6:36, a 2:30 improvement from last Tuesday’s time! It was possibly the most boring six and a half minutes I’ve ever had; cantering endless loops around the outdoor arena is much less exciting than cantering around the hay meadow!
I’ve had to amend my plan just a little bit; two-pointing in the morning and jogging in the evening isn’t working very well. I also won’t be able to ride this Sunday, since both horses are attending Junior Camp with lesson kids. For this week at least, I’ll get practice in on Wednesday; I’d practice on Friday, too, but Moe and I are signed up for a dressage clinic. I have a feeling there won’t be a lot of two-point going on there…
At any rate, I’m enthusiastic about my progress and determined to fit in practice wherever I can!
Great progress!
6 mins may be boring, but it’ a hell of a lot of 2pt time. I need to time myself tonight, but I’m pretty sure I have still made no or negative progress. I have been practicing every time I ride though.
Nice work! Now get that boy some half chaps!
Nice progress! 2 point is such a struggle. I’m impressed by your 6+ minutes.
What! No two point in a dressage clinic! Double work outs are hard. I used to try it and ended up really exhausted.
oooh Moe’s going to a dressage clinic, eh? sounds fun!
Ack, I need to do an update SO BAD!
