day 32 trail equipment

I have been planning to bring some trail equipment down to the arena for a while so I decided that today was as good a day as any. My sister and I brought down cones, a plywood board, and a white pipe then got to work. We set up the cones next to the fence and, about three feet away from them, we laid down the pipe. For that obstacle you have to send your horse around the cones while staying on the far side of the pipe so it works on sending and drawing your horse. After that we laid out the board as a bridge and had her walk over it, pause on it, back over it, and do pivots around it with her front feet staying on the board. She is also getting much better with the tarp and even though she is a bit hesitant I can usually get her to walk over it fine. She is doing well, improving quickly and we are both learning a lot.
