Bonnie’s Training: Continued

I’ve been riding Bonnie less frequently this month as we’ve been doing some home renovations, so we’ve been going backwards in training a bit. For example: riding her trot has been a bit of a struggle. When I ask her to trot, she tosses her head, flicks her tail, and sometimes pins her ears. I…

We have been riding Bonnie and Massey every day for the last three days, and after the tropical storm passes by, we would like to continue.
