Last night at my riding lesson Katie said the following to me:

"Now I want you to dig your heels in and gallop down the straitaway. I want Indy looking like Seabiscuit!"

Indy is a "heavy" horse. Not heavy in weight or size as he is no draft horse but heavy in his sides. This means the cues you give him with your leg and heel will take more pressure than they would on a "light" horse. That being said I don't think I actually got him galloping last night. Or if I did then galloping feels just like a canter, only faster. Could be. One thing for sure, it was fantastic fun. I can't wait for spring and the warm weather to come. Beach ride season!

Oh yeah, I completely redesigned and built out the barn website. They got me cheap at a month of free riding but it was more fun than work for me. Also, I did most of it while in the office. Hee hee.
