caused EITHER by the mares in the field next the arena being in season, OR by his deciding he dislikes the driving whip as much as the lunge whip - whatever the cause, we were getting nothing done and he insisted on turning in to me, even if i was sure certain he wasn't going to be able to...
so i took him back round, got my saddle, rode instead
much better .....
kept him in trot to prevent any thinking about stopping, did a fair few decent circles maintaining the trot, and when i stopped and dismounted found he'd actually done a square halt (which is practically unheard of).
so pleased by the finish!
What a delight to read that the riding was so much better. I know you like to long line, but when you ride instead it's an even better result for you both.
