Re: [RC] BSF 2004, Part 2 of 3 - rides2far

On this 
ride, I decided I wanted to take advantage of some of the puddles, 
but didn't want to stop. So I walked past the puddles, dropped the 
sponge in and snapped it up while continuing to walk on. I even 
progressed to trotting up to the puddle, walking while getting the 
sponge wet, and then trotting on while squeezing the water on. 

Sounds like you're doing great. Next step:  As you trot up, throw the
sponge down kind of hard as far ahead of your horse on that side as you
can reach, leave it there as you continue to trot by, then swing it
*behind* you in an arc (as you maintain your trot), then let it swing
back in front of you like a pendulum and snap it back to your hand at the
height of the arc in front of you. It's very rythmic and easy once you
get the rythm and you should never have to alter the speed of your trot.
