Panda's big ride

Today Tracy picked us up again for a trail ride in Caledonia. This time there were 5 horses in all. I borrowed Peppy and let Maria take the ride on Panda. We spent a lot of time trotting and cantering, and Panda rode in nearly every position. She was well behaved and easy to control, just getting a little fussy when we stopped once. The ride lasted 2.5 hours.
Yesterday was another fantastic session in the arena. Mobility in all directions was light and accurate. Turn on the haunches really easy. Later in the day I also set up two jumps and a set of trotting poles, which I lunged her over in combinations.
