We finally got the arena leveled! The entire family is excited and trying to ride after work as much as we can. Dont know if it is the level ground that has made my mule Annie more light? An alternative theory is that I am getting her used to having a long crop hanging from the saddle horn...Ha ha....First time I tried riding with a dressage crop I did not realize she was going to freak out about it, but used it in my hand. Had to give  either that one up, or my comfy seat in the saddle! 

Since then I have used it from the ground and inactive when riding. Soon we will be graduating to actually using it? Hoping to get rid of my spurs eventually...Lets see how that works!

Cheers

Arena-finally! Nothing fancy though and definitely not drained etc. Will be a fair weather no mud arena only...

Cute little bulldozer worked all day....
