Ginger's Surprise!

This week Ginger was with Seth on Leland's road, trotting and she slipped into a nice canter which Seth rode wonderfully. Seth's Mom, Michelle, and I were really surprised but both Seth and Ginger seemed happy so we were too. No worries.
Later, in the outdoor arena Seth was really smart - he put Ginger behind Marie and Mister and yelled, "Canter Ginge! Canter!" so off she went, cantering behind Mister. I fished my iPod out and managed to capture this fun moment a bit later. Steering is not yet a major priority, so sometimes Ginger surprises Seth with where they go! This was a fun surprise for us all.
Ginger is definitely 31 and we're careful with her but there are times like this when she lets us know that she is not willing to retire to the pasture just yet - she still loves to have fun with these new riders!
