Ambrose 11.2 mile pony

2/15/2011

Ambrose had regained his weight from his 26 mile under saddle work.  It had been raining some and he was very anxious to go do something.  I decided that a nice easy pony would be in order.  He did well until we tried to pass the ranch, he put the breaks on and I had to let go of the lead rope.  It took more then a few minutes to get him back, and since I was near the barn anyway I stopped and got the dressage whip.  When he sees the whip he all of sudden becomes very compliant.  The rest of the pony went great.  He trots so effortless at 15 mph just looking around like he is really having fun.  We pass lots of small ranches with horses out in the their pastures that usually run to the fence to greet us, he will talk to them some, but just keeps on trotting.

The Digifit program I use on the iPhone is pretty accurate except for the HR, and they are accurate when the belt is not moving at all.  I have compared it to the Garmin 310xt and it is real close.
