Charlie does the same thing, and my trainer often has me work a couple feet off the rail all the way around just so that I can be totally accountable and responsible for or straightness. It’s surprisingly hard tho lol...emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-62674667674804511942018-06-25T16:18:40.480-03:002018-06-25T16:18:40.480-03:00I know exactly what you mean.

In the past, I sometimes had to, but it was nerve-racking and ruined the experience. For a while, my group was small, and coordinating schedules was near impossible, but I've desperately tried to expand it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-31547629510440129872018-06-25T10:05:55.093-03:002018-06-25T10:05:55.093-03:00Carmen likes to keep you sharp and doesn't wan...Carmen likes to keep you sharp and doesn't want you to get too bored in the sand box.

If Ed is home I am fine with it. At some point I will not have that worry with her but for now it seems legit.

The arena means work, and they can be nervous about doing the wrong thing. I know mine are much more relaxed and happy on the trail, and all my friends say the same thing. It’s counterintuitive. My old trainer would rotate her days—arena one day, trail ride the next. She said her horses made much faster progress with that day of “rest” in between. Mental rest.
