02-18-20-26 – Late start preparing for this weekend’s show.  Working on me consistently recognizing when my horse is foxtrotting and cues to obtain foxtrot.  I should have started this weeks ago.  Using poles on ground to help Annie understand what’s being asked if her and also instructor had me mounted while lunging her over poles so I could feel her fox trot without interfering

01-10-20 – 1 hour 10 minute lesson with Pat Jannise on training horse to look to rider for direction and not go off on their own tangent.  When this happens, it’s important to focus on training, not trying to force horse across obstacle as the initial issue will keep raising it’s ugly head.  Had not had a lesson in over a month and this was an awesome one, Turtle Trail Farm, Morriston, FL, Rider – Jan McDougald, 1 credit
