I think I managed to wake my horse up!

Since Byron has been out on grass, he's been realy quite lazy to ride. For example, normally his transitions are really instant and forawrd, whereas since he has been out, they've been instant, but not as forward - minium effort more or less. Well 1 week ago, when I asked for a trot transition, he slumped into it, then went back into walk. All I did was give him one small tiny kick, and ever since then he has been back to his bouncy old self! He still hasn't chilled out after a weeks of riding :rolleyes:

This is why I will never ride him with a stick - we'd end up in France somewhere.

That's great that you have a horse you don't need to carry a crop :).
Sounds like a kick was enough of a reminder of what you expect ;)
