I have only been riding Calypso since May 23rd and he is doing awesome! He seems to enjoy the ride as much as I do. I ask for a trot with one kiss and a canter with two kisses, he responds nicely. Each day, we have more confidence with each other. Today we did figure eights with a drop to trot lead change in the middle. It was not perfect circles but I was very impressed. When I asked him to stop, it was immediate.
We also worked on an obstacle pattern. He is a little tentative but tries to figure out what I am asking of him. We walked across the teeter-totter and opened the rope gate today.
We only have one more day at Spirit Dancer Ranch and then it is off to CSU for the competition and auction.
I am so happy with Calypso's progress in the last week.
