Back up to see Liz today - unfortunately I have only ridden once since my last lesson so Cobs was rather fresh....didn't help with the wind blowing us over LOL!
Today we did HEAPS of transitions - mainly halt/trot/halt to try and stop him from stepping back to square himself up. He got it a few times so that was great.
We worked mainly in the trot today doing shoulder ins, leg yields, sitting trot, 5 metre circles in each corner, medium trot across the short diagonal then back into a 5 metre circle in the corner. Was really good just to keep his mind active & me thinking ahead.
We didn't do any canter work - there wasn't much point as he was quite spooky & we had more than enough to work on etc.
I really enjoyed todays lesson - although we had a few spooks here & there on a whole he worked pretty damn well considering we still haven't practiced anything.
Hope to catch up with Liz again before the twilight dressage comps in the middle of October.
