Didn't wear the little man out enough. He was preoccupied and bored at puppy class. Wouldn't stay or if put in sit would lie down. Not going to worry about will go forward. This has inspired me to practice more diligently. I had slacked a little bit but I didn't think that much. His molars are coming down and this might affect him.

PJ was happy to see me. His fan hadn't been turned on and he was sweating in his stall. I think I set a record for getting him and myself ready.

Walker had replaced the ball he tore up. It is a better ball. Wy loves it! It kept him occupied the entire time I rode.

We started out at the walk both directions, picked up the trot and he was nicely forward. I had planned to ride in my jumping saddle and was wearing my field boots - forgot my spurs - two sets and I forget to grab the other. Our ride was great but it was getting dark so you know there may be tigers.

Our shoulder-in was an actual shoulder-in not shoulder-fore. You too can ride dressage!
