Today Zorro and I went out on our longest solo trail ride yet, once we hit the common we did a lot of trotting and more cantering than we ever have before as well. There was one point where we ground to a halt, but there wasn't really any anxiety there and I felt confident to push him a little bit to get on. We also had one very rapid trot-to-halt so Zorro could stare at a deer, but aside from that it was a really smooth ride. Well, even with that it was a smooth ride, and nice to see the deer so close. We felt as good going out alone as we ever have riding in company and our confidence and trust in one another is coming along in leaps and bounds. Or perhaps more accurately in the absence of leaps and bounds...

The clinic was really good. I forgot my notebook, so no report as such to follow but many pictures...
