Is it spring yet?

Our winter has been fairly mild so far but I'm still craving the longer hours and warmer days.  I was all set to work Cat last night when a dark storm cloud decided to roll in.  I couldn't tell if it was going to hit us or go around us.  I don't think it would have mattered either way as the "dry" lot looked more like a mud volley ball court then it did an arena.  What's a gal to do?

I'll tell you what I did - I loaded Cat up and headed over to Mona's to use her indoor.  I started off with a little bit of groundwork and then decided to saddle Cat up.  Cat hasn't been saddled since Sept. of last year so I wanted to make sure she wasn't going to have any issues with the saddle.  I did a bit more gw and then decided to jump on.  She was good as gold.  Her flexing was nice and light and she felt relaxed.

After a nice workout I dismounted and unbridled her.  I was messing around with her and got a bit on film.  It is pretty obvious to see what areas I need to work on but hey, I was having fun.  I luv my pony!

Is this baseline video too? No, lead rope. No stick.

Looks a bit refined to me. I remember this response: "Refine? Bwa ha ha this is my starting point."

No this isn't a baseline video John. This is just a video of me messing around. Refinement would be her standing still and pivoting on the front foot.
