March 7, 2010

Another beautiful day, but with the snow melting, it's very slippery out there, so we have to spend most of our time on the road.  I took Onyx today, and gave him a quick groom, did some flexing and then got on him bareback down by the road.  We went down to 14 (Dave leading Phoenix) and we worked on the One Rein Stop, seprentines and leg cues.  Onyx did great - even with a dirt bike down the road.  We were headed towards Acey's when Phee spooked and Onyx followed suit, trying to bolt, but I did a One Rein Stop and calmed him down.  We think they're scared up by the road because someone chopped a tree down there.
