Thursday had another Lucy Thompson clinic - he's been there before and been really good. This time he was horrible! If i put my leg on he took off with me with no brakes/steering, but if i didn't put my leg on into each fence he would be silly and spook/stop then bomb off.
So pics are good on my dads part but rubbish on our part as they're horrid. He hadn't been out or jumped for about 2 weeks so am getting him out and about again now.

Any tips/comments welcome - do i need to do anything about my lower leg??

Lots of gridwork is going to be done cos he's making up too much ground after the fences. Anything else i can improve on?
