This weekend we have our first big team competition of the season. So I am focusing on schooling for that for the next few days.
Today I tacked up Simon and headed down to the riding field to get in a nice schooling, and Linus followed us. I walked around the field setting up some equipment, and Linus followed behind messing it back up. It was a little frustrating but also very comical.
I got in some litter practice, which was not my smoothest, but had a few nice bottle picks, places and turns. Meanwhile, Linus got in a good full body scratch on a tree and then moved to a bucket of balls, dumped it and knocked the items around. I ignored him and moved on to some two flag practice, which was going smoothly, until I turned to run through it again and found Linus pulling the first flag out of the cone.
He eventially started cantering along behind Simon.
I think he is eager to start his training back up next week!
