so, decided to go into the arena - no one to go out with, and we do need to do this... young beth came to spectate (i say young, about 17 but a good eye and a good rider) and i was pleased she did as she was able to assist the process of getting him going
of course - he was taking the piss was the problem....
at one point, beth got up, came in, and physically moved his front feet forward, so eventually he was forced to move his back ones and we got going again!
after about 1/2 hour (was it that long? not sure, probably) i was able to dictate the place we stopped!
i think a lot of the trouble has been that i've been stopping when my wrist hurt - which for me was valid - but of course he doesn't know that, he just knows he hasn't had to do it....
so, more tomorrow!
then hopefully a hack out on saturday, and a lesson on sunday morning assuming the weather holds....
in the meantime, here's that mohican....
