I took Cruiser on a quick trail ride before sunset, and we didn’t see a soul—not even the headless horseman.  It was a cool and pretty evening.  There are still some leaves on the trees, and they were very vibrant in the dimming light of the evening.  Next weekend, the time changes, and there will be no more trail rides after work.  I sure will miss them.

 

I then rode Cole in the arena.  I had the place all to myself.  We worked on a little of this and a little of that. I still can’t get him to canter, but I was able to get him to trot faster—not just bigger.  I am hoping that if he figures out the speed up command, I can just keep speeding him up until he will canter.  I wish I had been brave enough with this last year to introduce it then.  I think he would have been more open minded.  I’m getting somewhat frustrated.  We are cantering a little bit on the trail, but the transitions are still explosive.

 

The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow, and if I can get control of my workload, I will take the day off to take them both on a trail ride.  The weekend is looking good, too, for a change.
