Subject: A Woman's Touch (Woman), Carryin' Rio On (Carrie), and Quincy's Dusty Lady (Dusty) get rides.

I take Woman out first. I ride her completely bareback and tackless. Using words and leg pressure I ride her into the square arena. We start at a walk, she's nice and slow, she keeps her western pleasure look, head down, gait smooth. When I for a jog she picks up nicely, ever smooth, though she's had several foals. We trot for a bit. Then take it back down to a walk. She's foaled recently, so I don't do much more with her.

Next I get Carrie out. Carrie seems a bit :sore" still, so I don't ride her, but I take her out to my lunge pen and lunge her for a while.
*
Dusty is ready to go, the second I ride her towards the ring, she almost prances, though still at a walk. I let her speed up to a trot. She stop perfectly at the gate, then I open it and we go in. I take her around the ring at a walk, then a trot, then reverse and canter. Then we do it the opposite direction. We do some sepertines, and some nice circles. Then I cool her down.
