Day 1


Inspired from our day at Sonoma, Jean, Skye, and Malika begged Ken for a lesson. We made a terrible mistake. Jean made the carnal sin of slouching while fixing her stirrups. Ken promptly started the lesson with: Today I will not tolerate rounded shoulders.

Jean and Dante made flying leaps forward, physically not metaphorically.  Malika and symphony discovered sitting trot over pole is NEVER a fun idea. Zach entered his rebellious teenage years and played the game of "I am taller than you therefore I am boss". He who smells highest is the dominant. Ken thought that they all needed a dose of control. 

Ken thought he could tame Dante’s leaps by adding until we were trotting four poles (supposedly). Dante rose up to the challenge: literally. Malika and Symphony were the stars of the show…we expect big things from her tomorrow. Skye and Zach made it through alive with some “that was betters” from Ken. All four legs (of Skye’s) were monkey clinging. 

Skye learned how to halt: good job Skye! Ken commented saying he “liked one of her halts”. But as we know…there can only be one.
