Greetings everyone from Australia. Had my sixth lesson today, having one per week. Gradual improvements noticed, getting on easier, getting off - well lets say that's a work in progress.
Have been able to walk, trot, and did weaving, and trotting over poles. Buddy had one pole that was about 4 inches of the ground, was supposed to trot over it - yeah right, he walked over it every time we got there, then eventually was trotting well, and we headed to the pole on last time round - did he trot over it? No, he decided to JUMP over it - that was a first for me. Even though it was a very little jump, glad it was.
Then on the last round of the arena again going well, and he is hard to get going, but trotting around and then he goes into a canter - how did I do that? No idea, but I stayed on - that's another first. Other times he was so difficult to get moving, was too keen to get back to his food. Buddy loves food. (hes not starving)
I got my RI to video me last couple of minutes, helpful to watch later. And took some pictures. When I remember how to load them I will put them up here.
