Yesterday we did in hand pole work which evolved into loose schooling over jumps. What a lush boy he is moving exceedingly well and very cheeky. I made small uprights out of blocks with poles on top and did a mini set of raised trotting poles and while my back was turned moving poles and blocks he.........kept going and popping randomly over the uprights and then elegantly over the trot poles finally coming to a halt beside me checking out the next block. Wave of my hand and 'go on over there' and he trotted off and popped a jump.
This morning we did a bit of lunging just using the Pessoa bum strap on and adding the front straps at the end. His trot work was lovely and then whoo hoo I asked for canter and he did a proper canter. Did this on both reins better on one than the other unfortunately being a twit I can't remember which rein duh! Think the right was the weak one maybe probably.
