Dubbelt upp med tömkörning
Pepper var pigg och började självmant galoppera nästan direkt vi började tömköra på banan. Men, det gick bra att reglera honom så han fick galoppera en del och så blev det halter och andra gångarter däremellan. Jag förvånas av att han redan nu är mycket starkare i galoppen än Calinka. Vänster varv var lättare och det var där han galopperade mest, även om jag försökte få till lika mycket i andra varvet. Riktigt fint sökande mot bettet stundtals!
Sedan tog jag ut Percy. Sist hon tömkördes tyckte hon inte om tömmarna och förstod inte mycket. Nu testade jag själv.. Och det gick bra! Vi tog det väldigt lungt och lite stressad blev hon, men det var lättare när hon inte behövde fokusera på en ledare också. Dessutom krökte hon på nacken så fort bettet kom in i munnen – i ridningen har det ju varit bettlöst än så länge och då åker huvudet upp lite heller…
Calinka kom inte alls fram förrän det vankades mat. Tyckte väll att hon gjort sitt igår.
Pepper had a lot of energy and started to canter really soon after I started long rein him. But he listened well so he was allowed to canter. I am surprised by how much easier it is for him to canter and that he can do things that Calinka still can’t. Left was his best side and he preferred to canter at the left even if I tried to canter him as much in the other side. Every now and then he seemed to work very good.
Then I got Percy. Last time I long reined her she didn’t like the reins and didn’t understand what was asked of her. This time I tried on my own.. And she did great! I tried to make it as easy as possible and as slowly as possible even if she got a bit nervous. But it was better this time when she didn’t need to focus on some one the lead her. And she bent her neck as soon as she got the bit in her mouth. While riding her head is held higher – but then we haven’t been bitless.

Calinka didn’t show up until it was feeding time. Guess she think she did her part yesterday.
