like a different horse, success - not total instant, but only took a couple of seconds, and both reins.
and finished with walk - last night he would either stop or trot, so to end tonight i managed to keep him going in walk left rein
it's true what they say you know = it's much more difficult to really get after your own horse
and then once the job's sorted, it's sorted, pretty much, and one has much more confidence about keeping it going!
Yay! well done, onwards and upwards now.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have taken charge. Even the best horses will test us if they see the opportunity. TB's are, I still think, among the smartest that way. Being dominant makes them successful on the track, so no reason it wouldn't carry over into the area.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
