Miss Most Obedient

Today I rode Mimi. BIG thanks to Lizzy, Mimi's owner, for letting me ride her today. It wasn't a lesson just a fun ride and it WAS very fun : ) We did pretty much everything there is to do! First we did some flat work and did a demonstration canter for two of the younger riders and Mimi was a GREAT demonstration. Although I had to change my position to all wrong to show the kids what they were doing wrong, Mimi hung in there and didn't get mad at me. : ) I love her! So after some flat work, we worked on patterns. We circled and zig-zagged through some comes and leg yielded and also we went over some ground poles. After that, it was time to jump! We went over some cross rails and then an 18"-2' vertical. It was thrilling!! Mimi is SUCH an amazing pony!! So after some blood-pumping jumping we finished off the ride with alternating circles around cones stirrupless. It was cool! We circled and zig-zagged through and around the cones. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow!! Lots of stirrupless work can really take a tole on your inner calves! Another AMAZING ride on MA Perfect Passion!
