Fran lesson

After a slightly close call leading Phe out to the field and hurting my arm I did actually manage to do my lesson although have a very sore wrist now and def think it is a strain Better than a break though

Anyway got on and walked / trotted round. He feels much more settled in his head and has moments of stretching down without coming overbent. The problem is when he takes the contact he goes over bent but when he stretches on loose rein he doesn't. So just need to perserve and sit very quietly and let him build strength and confidence and it should come. Must remember to test the SI is true by offering the inside rein and pray it all should all stay in place

Leg yield and shoulder in much improved. Got to try and keep the trot swinging and soft through the ly. Worked on slow med trot into shoulder in to get a little more elevation and the SI into Med trot. He tried his little heart out on this one

Canter trans are much more responsive and I was pleased with them today although he still struggles taking the contact forward and the second I over the inside rein to stretch down he falls into trot. Very but it is improving so need to stay calm about it.

Aunty H back so he can have some fun again - will see if she can hack him for me again and we are off to S'hull doing SJ on tues so he will like that.

Only 1 more weekend at the yard until we leave
