However up we went to Jaimes and he was overall pretty good. Few spooky moments (someone cutting trees down is scary apparently) and one huge buck when he took a flyer at an oxer.
Started off with trot poles then raised them up to get him working over his back etc. Works really well with him....when he got the gist of it (see photo below!).
Then did some courses etc. Was really interesting as the first time I didn't have our canter quite right and it showed then every other time we got the spots perfect etc. Was stoked. Not sure what is going on with my elbows today.....something to keep an eye on next time! He refused at the liverpool which was surprising as he hardly ever stops - then proceeded to boing over it next time!
So yes very pleased with him. Still not as settled as he should be but daylight savings isn't far away so lets hope the weather stays as stunning as it has been lately so I can get some decent riding in!
How to not do trot poles :)
Finally figured it out!
