Merlin’s first ridden canter today! First attempt he gave maybe 2 strides then slowed back to a trot and I stopped him and patted him. We did a few more attempts where he was a little sticky and did a tiny half hearted pigroot when I asked him to go, I wasn’t even asking for canter yet, trotted out of that and then got a really nice transition and several strides as shown in this video.

Which is then a perfect place to end the ride for the day so that he finished on a rally positive result rather than pushing for more and getting into a fight with him when he gets tired and doesn’t want to offer it again which can happen with these slower moving heavy crosses. I’ve learnt from experience starting many heavy breeds and crosses that a little is great and quit on that and then each day they will maintain the canter longer and you don’t need to get in a fight about it.

Merlin yesterday doing obstacles ridden for the first time, you’d think he had done it a million times before! Straight over most of the ones I asked him to do, and only needed a little thinking time on the blue water tray.

Spirit, who is a 5 year old Gypsy Cob cross Standy gelding, had his first ride out of the round yard this morning. He is getting better at maintaining trot while steering and he is much less distracted now than he was last week in his roundyard rides. Making nice progress and feeling relaxed and happy about the starting process. 😀🐴

We had a nice early morning trail ride this morning before the heat set in!
Archie ridden by his owner for their first trail ride together after having had some arena lessons last week to get their confidence together.

And myself on Merlin the wonderful Gypsy Cob x Quarter Horse who is just amazing, his first ride out of the arena and he’s only 3 and he was like a seasoned trail horse! Trucks and cars no problem, he was up front, middle and back and happy in any position. Such a cool dude! I’m enjoying starting him and I know his owner is going to have so much fun with him. 🥰

Zorro can still be a little rushy at times, and still some moments of resistance to the bit but overall he is settling into the rhythm and getting softer and lowering his head a bit more consistently. He’s doing more canter work now so he’s figuring out the tempo and balance and getting comfortable with going and slowing when asked.

Koda, 3 year old Gypsy cob x here being starting undersaddle, is doing so well! Riding out around the property solo, and riding over obstacles totally relaxed and willing! Next step is some road and bush trail rides, continuing to consolidate the basics in the arena as well and then he will be right to have his owner have some rides and take him home in a few more weeks.

Merry Christmas! We hope you all have a fun and safe time these holidays and enjoy some fun with your horses as well! 🤠🎄...
