Catalina was really good today
She has been staying in the main barn more lately and getting use to less turn out.
Last year and the beginning of this year she was a bit too fresh and nervous when not living outside, but she is getting better all the time about being inside and also being well behaved.
She is trained to the hot walker now and seems to except changes in her routine better.

Our next goal is to prepare her as best I can for the clinic with Debbie McDonald at the end of July.
I think this will be a good outing for her.
I want her to see the world this year without the pressure of showing.
I’m going to apply for the Stephan Peters symposium; but I’m not sure if they will be needing a 4 year old.
That symposium is the weekend before our Annual Dressage Retreat.

I’m also going to be riding Catalina in the dressage retreat and am really looking forward to allowing Catalina to get use to the activity of all the people during the retreat.
She is a really level headed young horse but very sensitive and spirited.
She is slowly accepting the contact more and getting better on m y leg.
She is also getting use to staying more concentrated when distractions happen like my son running in the ring and the dogs coming in and out.
She has always been good about people and other horses; in fact she seems to like that.
If the rain ever stops I’ll get her outside on a regular basis and do my video needed for the application for the Steffen Peters symposium
Look for updates and video on Catalina working outside when we get an improvement in the weather.
