Amazing Liberty

Walker and I had a wonderful Liberty session last night. He offered to go over a small jump in the small arena while doing the circle game three straight times. And he did it so easily, like he had been doing it for months. 

We are all so frustrated by this weather. And, on top of that, my neck has been giving me trouble, so I have not ridden as much as I would like. When I have ridden, I have started to play with my two carrot stick riding, with and without a bridle. Walker and I are also playing with our canter departs, something we need work with. This is an area I want to ask for Kerri's help. Kerri did point out to me that we should practice with circles to the left, as Walker seems to have more trouble moving in that direction, and so we are. Walker still has some negative emotions about riding, so we are taking it slowly, but still progressing as much as we can.
