But we had a good ride last night. He was sound when we lunged him again, so on went the saddle and we did a good workout on the nice footing in the outdoor ring. He getting a bit heavy on my hands which is making him heavy in the in the front end, and tipping me forward (also not helping our transitions).
D had me working on keeping him light and in front of my leg, (and maybe over bridled just a bit) and we had some excellent moments at the canter where he was very light and soft with plenty of drive from behind. The more tired we both got, the worse it got, but we had some good moments at the trot as well where I was just picking my inside rein up and he was giving with slack still in the rein.
Today the kids at the barn were doing there achievement day for completion of their 4-H projects, so I watched them, and helped with barn chores. Lucas got another couple of hours in the turnout, as its been hard with all of the horse and moose fly's to turn anyone out for more than an hour. Your always watching the weather and waiting for a good wind or some rain to keep them away. We are now up to a high of 33 degrees (88 or so for you American people) so its gotten really hot in the last week.
