I do remember to update my diary but just felt i would do a general one.

She has been backed for almost 4 months, what that means is she doing ok in walk and trot.
We have had sun so i took a photo of it as proof!

We have been doing bareback and saddle, bit, bitless and touch of nothing.

Lots of this below. :)

She gets a regular tone up and massage, but wants to develop pony yoga.

I have been leading her out regularly covering anything up to 2.5 miles. I am not that worried about actual hacking to be honest, but we have done this below.
The hacking is more ride and lead now, i get on somewhere, ride for a bit and hop off. I want to be super careful off the last bit of growth with her hooves.
I do still have my boots but at this time she isn't in them. But i will use to help her out etc.

P.S-i think she has the power walk!

Be prepared for steep down hills especially when on her back :wink:

Everywhere here is a hill going up round or on the way down. I think there is one stretch of flat lane on our three routes. The track is flat but flooded, so if went that way it would be i am not getting my feet wet. Would be bit of :bomb: if she said me neither!

I have just notice the tarp photo she has three legs in a line. Not taught her to do three tracks, i guess that could be useful for something later?
 
I think i just pressed at the right time, she always rolls after a session. So getting a photo is easy, just not always near enough.
 
I can add that we have have done our first ever mini hack. No photos because i kept my focus on her.
She was a poppet.
