Subject: Riding Thunder and Cory

I took Thunder out onto the Steeplechasing practice track and he went SOOOOOO FAST!!!! I guess I fed him a bit too much oats today and he's so excited that he completed the whole chourse in under 4 minutes, that's almost as fast as a thoroughbred!!! Later, after a bit of rest I took him out to the outdoor show jumpin arean and he jumped a perfect round at 4 and 5ft highs, I's starting to train him to jump the 6ft highs and he's doing great!! Then I took him out again and did a bit of advanced dressage movements like change leads at every stride. After that all his excitments are pretty much down to normal level so I just turned him out and allowed him to have freetime.

I took Cory out into the outside jumping arean and tried him over the 4ft highs, he seem to be jumping easily and swiftly over the 4fts so I tried him on the 5fts, he seem a bit unsure about it and went over akwardly. After a bit of rest I took him into the ring again and tried him over the 5ft high, he seem to be sure this time an went over it swiftly but knoked down one pole, I'll still be training him to go over the 5fts cause I know it's not too high for him. After some more jumping his day is up and I just turned him out.

I took Deja out to the outdoor barrel arean and tested her on the barrels just to see how well is she at it since she's new, she did a perfect job at it, saved every second there is to be saved. After that I just turned her out.
