Here she is, working hard and learning how to be round. This photo and video are from July 29th. I'm writing this entry in early November. Violet and I are on a path to being a team. I want to use stretching, massage, and accupressure to help her get over her stiffness and tightness and keep on trying to improve our teamsmanship. What's been really cool this week is that I rode her several times bareback. She was so good! She wanted to be very careful with me. And we were even closer than usual because she could feel every little request with my weight and seat!
