Windy!

Was quite windy today, but I rode Gunny outside in the outdoor arena. I want to get her used to the smells by being in a confined area. She did excellent today. She was very responsive and did everything I asked, like a champ. Worked on speed up/slow down, walk, jog, stay on the rail. After our ride, I went out of the gate on her back (very proud) and decided to start on the trail just slightly. I only took her to the end of the driveway and back, as she seemed nervous. Any time she lost focus on me, I backed her up. Then, whenever she rushed on the way home, I backed her up. She was very calm. A very successful day, especially for it being as windy as it was.
