Great Joy!!!! Josie and I cantered in the dressage saddle. This was our 5th ride all DQ'd out. With all the baggage I bring to our relationship she manages to keep proving me wrong. Keep it up Josie I love it!

It wasn't pretty but I stuck with it. I think she uses that killer fast trot to get out of it. Her little wheels turning thinking, "If I just keep at this, she will give up." She kept saying no and I said YES and she answered okay if I have to. Now we just need to improve our departs so I don't try to use my wings to help with take off. Her canter feels even better in this saddle than the western.

I probably still won't canter at M's upcoming clinic with Cleon but . . . you never know. We have a good solid week before.

I am so pleased.
