Renny Drills!






Here are photos and video from June of Renny and his trainer.  He just loves his girl.  And you can see him looking casually over at his shoulder, pleased that Grama will watch to cheer him on!  It was such a wonderful summer of watching my talented boy enjoying his time with her.  I'm writing this entry on Sunday, September 9th and reporting about Renny and me after he's taken his first week-long vacation in a long long time!  This week we started working with a new trainer.  And on Saturday, we rode with Betsy and Merlin, Gay and Shorty, and Mary and Fez.  Renny was fabulous. He was super adjustable, had gaits within gaits, was able to race walk, was happy to stretch and relax or collect and be wonderful.  He was super good at drill work and kept his pace and distance.  He was great about this little exercise where we had to extended trot then collected seated trot then volte and spring into a canter.  Badabing!  He was happy to work and be a good boy. And then he was just lovely about jumping.  I was so proud to be with him and to be part of Team Renegade!
