Dressage Lesson

First dressage lesson in a month & to be honest I didn't have high hopes. He has been so full of himself so have been going down to the track a few times a week just to trot/canter him out to try and get rid of some of the excess energy he seems to have at the moment!

He was a superstar today :) Tried so hard and was so good. No schooling for ages and we pretty much picked up where we left off.

We did lots of circles, serpentines, changes of reins etc to get him listening and just basically worked on getting everything right. He had a super trot today - really full of life and going forward nicely.

Our canter wasn't that great but its always the first thing to disappear with him. We ended up getting some nice work though although at the end of the lesson we were both stuffed!! Amazing how quickly you lose your fitness only riding 20 minutes at a time a few times a week.

Hope to go back in a fortnight just to keep working on what we have got. I have got no comps coming up for the foreseeable future as we have done so much in the last few months. Be good just to take a step back from the whole thing.
