Best Circles Yet!

I played with Aspire again a couple days ago.  It was our first real play session in about a month... You could tell she has had a lot of time off but she was really, really good!  Still so light and responsive, definitely had a little more energy but lots of draw and she took lots of comfort in being with me.  We played some on hills, jumps, a wonderful yo-yo, and... a REALLY great circling game too!  Our first time trotting on-line, in a pasture (not a pen), without her trying to blast off!  We did figure 8's, basic changes of direction, and some transition.  We did circles at the end of our play and she was so relaxed, her whole topline got rounder, and she had an ear on me the whole time.  Wish someone had a video camera.  I have some time off the next couple days and can't wait to get back out there and play with her some more!  Check back for updated pix. :)
