by one hole...
now why didn't i figure that that would put me in better position, more secure? you tell me.
we started off ok -walked briskly round then up into trot - so i'm half way round a "20 metre circle" (quotes because in fact it isn't, given the size of arena!) when he stops...
gggggrrrrrrhhhhhhh
lots of small turns on forehand, but still no forward movement ....
gggggrrrrrhhhhhh
friend turns up and he won't even move for being chased.
she goes to get her hat, i get off. saddle has slipped back a shade so i sort that out, she gets on, he trots, canters, both reins, not pleased (you should have seen his face!)
i get back on.... with the shorter stirrup length...
he goes.
we get lots of trot
i come down to walk he thinks about stopping i growl at him he goes
more trot, diagonals both ways...
we come down to walk - he want to stop - we walk back to stable (TBF, i usually do get off in arena anyway as its' a softer landing!)
more secure with shorter stirrup, friend said a better picture and i maintained contact with mouth better....
