Man oh man do I own a stubborn horse. So I actually got to ride him 3 DAYS out of this past week!!! [basks in glow from heaven] I've been making the focus of our rides being going forward and lateral work. I've been riding him this week out in the dry lot with the other horses (yes, I'm crazy) because the arena has been soup... and surprisingly he's been a rockstar. It helps too that the other horses leave us alone... Anyway, it's super nice having SO MUCH ROOM to ride in... this may become a regular thing even when the arena is dried up, hmmmm.
Well, I've been working a lot on half-passes from the halt. Leg-yeilding...
