The ground was frozen but Rose handled that without a care. It was funny because the whole time, Rose was trying to tell me that she wanted to go faster in every way she could think of without actually going faster. I couldn't let her go because Kavi has a much slower walk than Rose since she's just a little pony so Rose had to keep pace with her. Also Rose has the typical Warmblood walk with big, ground-covering strides. I always say, Rose walks with a purpose!
Oh also, today was the first day that I got on Rose from the mounting block with no body standing at her head! She stood completely still was almost saying to me, "I got this, mom. I know how this works now!"
Even after I settled into the saddle, Rose didn't walk off, just waited for me to tell her to go. I get more proud of this girl every day!
