so i was pleased with that, as it's nearly a week since he's been ridden!
but had to stop and adjust the saddle once, and then during the first trot session realised i had the stirrups too long... eventually stopped to adjust them, which is always a pain with dressage leathers.. the left one i manage fine, and i THOUGHT i'd got the right - but it hadn't quite stuck through the hole and when i dropped it and then felt for it to put my foot in, no stirrup... so off again, to sort it out.. and each time i get off i have to go back round to the mounting block outside the stable! but hey, it's all good mounting practice. then back in and walk/trot/walk transitions, and a little bit of ridden flexions - left rein he's fine, but right rein needs a lot more groundwork i think....
Glad to hear he's been working for you. I know the problem of trying to adjust things from the saddle, having to get off and then remount. It's a nuisance, that's for sure.
