Well we had a ride in the Bighorn Cattle Penning saddle last night and had a good one! I need to figure out my seat in it (its a lot deeper than the pleasure saddles I'm used to) Lucas really liked it though!
Once we did some warm up walk and trot (with some 2 tracking and side passing tossed in to keep it int interesting) I got him to trot out and he went right into his 'happy trot'. His floaty, use his whole body but make it look effortless, trot.
It was easy.
Why did I fight with him so much last year?
I'm keeping the 'voice' in my head quiet and trying to trust in my ability and in Lucas. I'm still having my moments but were having more and more moments when we 'click'.
Were still working in the western version of his English show bit but were off to the trade show on the weekend to look for a horsemanship bit for next year. Hopefully were working on having him in a snaffle next week to take the contole that I now have over his hind end and start putting the package together and start suppling his body a bit more.
