Today's workout was very short - as I was on my own and had to re-wrap Huey's hoof before the sun went down ...
We started with our normal brush down and lunge - I moved the trot poles closer together today and while he was really trying to concentrate on where he put his feet, I think they were just a bit too close for him... I'll roll them further apart again next lesson. He's very responsive on the lunge now - and canter is starting to look very nice... He's beginning to really build up his hindquarter muscles and step through, which is pleasing to see.
After that I hopped on and did some walk/trot work .... He was really nice to the right, and pretty stiff to the left - while he's usually stiff to the left, today he was dropping his shoulder into the circle ...
I had wanted to ask for canter under saddle today - but another girl was working closeby with her excitable TB and given that Red has attention issues, I figured it wasn't the best time. Best I get my backside into gear, this time next month, we have a show to attend, hehe.
