Blue in our lesson today😍 practised some leg yielding and shoulder in! Still a lot to work on but so pleased with how well he picked it up😁
Blue finally getting the hand of leg yields!! He’s now keeping his body straight when moving over and he’s not swinging his bum out😁 so proud of him recently!
So pleased with how well blue jumped this morning! First ever time trying V poles and he wasn’t fazed at all and they really helped keep him in the middle of the jump and make him quicker with his front legs😁 what a super little horse he is🥰
Blue practicing his walk to canters today! He was very responsive and found them a little exiting🙈 very happy with how he’s doing and I’m exited for this season to be out competing.
All I can say is wow!!
I can’t believe the progress with the lovely willow in just a couple of weeks! Went from totally refusing to move and doing some small rears to avoid going forward to this today😁 got on and she was eager to get going, went straight into trot as soon as I asked her and she even dropped her head to work in a contact at the end of the ride! Also done a little bit of leg yielding and she was super and got the hang of it very quickly.
Still a lot to work on but she’s a very clever pony🤩
My own horse blue schooling lovely today too!
Just getting the hang of where to put his legs as with him being a standardbred he can get a little wobbly at times but he’s such an honest boy. I also worked on getting him more collected and steady which he really got the hang of towards the end😊
More progress made today with the lovely willow!
She was reluctant to move away from the gate at first especially with there being a few scary distractions but with patience and encouragement she walked forward and was super. She usually wouldn’t go forward into trot in the school but she was more than happy to go into trot once she was comfortable. I am very happy with how she is going😁
Please excuse the quality of the last video, my phone decided it had no more storage for anymore photos or videos🤦♀️
Some lovely progress with one of the youngsters I am helping with! she kept stopping and wouldn’t move for her owners so I was asked to come and help. The first day I rode her she stopped a lot of times but with encouragement she walked forward again, then yesterday I got on and she didn’t stop once! Just happily walked forward and walked up and down the lane on her own. She’s a quick learner😁
