Rest of Ben's "appo" for Leah! Thanks, girl! I had a fabulous time and am nicely sore from working the legs out pretty good. We did a no-stirrups drill, many gait change drills, and worked on collecting Leah a bit to get her moving forward brightly. It was an honor to ride her - her owner is in the hospital with a pressure sore (she lost mobility of her legs in a car accident but remains a fabulous rider and was selected for the 2008 Paralympics Equestrian Team). See Sam drinking it all in? It was so fun to show him around.
