Early Monday morning trying to beat the heat. I discovered at the pre work Saturday that Knight needed some attention on learning how to trot while I am leading him. So that was the first thing we worked on this morning. After awhile he is catching on and doing pretty well.
So I rode up to the outdoor pen and continued on our routine of loping straight lines, stopping, turning, leg yielding, backing. He is getting lighter and more responsive and starting to put more enthusiasm into his work. At just over the half way point on our journey, things are looking pretty good.
