The extreme frost threw in another monkey wrench – this time
in the shape of a broken water pipe flooding a large area of the indoor arena.
It required major digging for repairs, and so currently a large part the lower
part of the arena is closed off. That means more riders in a smaller space:
great preparation for the crowded conditions at the shows.
Remy warmed up well, and then went right to work, focused
and ready. It was the first time I rode him in over a week, due to the viral
infection that still has me powered down to about ½ my normal speed. It went
(surprisingly) well, I was able to keep my position in the transitions much
better, “less is more”, and with Judy reminding me to “tuck my tailbone” my
seat stayed where it was supposed to be.
While we were talking over dinner about riding (what else?)
and the progress in both horses and riders, JP hit the nail on the head: “Judy
doesn’t just flirt with training – she actually gets it done!”
Me, OTOH,… I guess I’m just a flirt at heart!
