4. september (Athena, DL)

So I was lazy and didn't write yesterday. And rode noboy today.

Lunged Athena with siderains. Warmed her up without. She wasn't as forward as Iwas afraid she might be. With sidreins it took some time for her to start workign and accepting. So we did a lot of walk trot transitions before she started to reach out. After that it wasa piece of cake. Perfectly rounded, perfectly "on the bit". Canter was controlled and balanced, she bended inside and looked fantastick. Nice. Will change her bit. Rubber is not so good for her mouth corners.

Took Lady in the forest bareback. Whole lot of different sotry thn riding Jule, Carms or At. I felt comfortable on DL. Did some collection when I felt she was staring too much. Tried to get her more snappy with the leg so some transitions and tempo changes. I was satisifed. She got quite alerted. We got so far that I culd give her the reins in canter and she didn't speed, buck or go uncontollabel as before. Kept the tempo and rythm and was nice.
