Tesla came out ready and willing to play yesterday. She was dancing circles around me on the walk up from the barn, listening but very excited - and I wasn't quite sure if we would be brilliant or a hot mess in the arena...
There were two other gals riding, both on schoolmasters, and it was a perfect opportunity to get some traffic schooling in on the longe. I gave the gals a heads up on what we would be doing and Tesla was absolutely the best she has ever been. She had her A game on and her face was making everyone laugh, she was thinking SO HARD.
Afterwards we watched and got treats while someone else longed - and she was cool with that too (doesn't hurt that it was her luxury-car-Bentley-boy-toy on parade)
Feeling so blessed, not only for progress, but also for this awesome group of evening riders who are amazing and supportive and just plain fun to hang out with!
It sounds like she's really growing up. It's wonderful that you have such a supportive environment.
