clinic-ing away

Just a short report from the beginning of day two of this fall's Jec Ballou clinic in Upper Lake --
Once again, I am gaining a lot of insight into my riding from Jec's concise observations. At the last clinic I came home with a new understanding of Blue's "straightness" problems and have seen a huge improvement over the past six months, yet this clinic is revealing the continuing weak spots in my riding that still affect how my horses travel. so wonderful and amazing to work on this and see the results!
Blue and Radar spent the night at Oak Creek Ranch -- Blue's first overnight event -- but they seemed happy in their deluxe stalls and runs. This is also the first time I have felt Blue is strong enough to work both days of the clinic -- so am interested in seeing how he feels this morning. As always, Blue was focused and consistent -- a pleasure to ride.
More later ... I'm off!
