Riding in the Rain -- Whisper Goes Back to Work

It was downright soggy today, but we managed to get Whisper tacked up, adding a new tacky pad and crupper to her gear.  In between the downpours, Lorenzo lunged Whisper good to work out any kinks.  The pressure of the crupper was new, so the mare humped her back, bucked and balked before settling down.

Taking advantage of a small break in the weather, Lorenzo put Whisper in the bosal and mecate, mounted, and worked the mare at the walk and trot before asking her to canter.  Being Whisper, she pawed at the huge puddles in the arena,a usual precursor to dropping like a fainting goat and having a good roll in the water.  Thankfully, Lorenzo was always one step ahead of the mare's game.
