Dixie, trot

After I spooked her in the previous video, I brought her back down to a walk and started gradually asking very gently for more speed. After two laps of (no heels!) gentle leg squeezes, she gave me a nice calm trot. Boo for trot, but YAY!! for calm forward motion.

This was the end of our lesson. She'd done quite a lot of walk work for about an hour and a half before. My legs were tired and I'm pretty sure her brain was tired!
