basics

Two sessions today. Morning session was long reining, including multiple changes of rein and many transitions. More in-hand work including beginnings of renvers and half-pass. Fussy on the right side, but he's figuring it out.

Afternoon riding session with only a little ground work prep. Hot, humid, and buggy. I don't care--Jordan needs to live with a little adversity. He does well. Lots of one-rein stops from the walk and the trot. He is stretching wonderfully during the breaks. Trot still gets rushed but I think we are laying the groundwork for something better. He is figuring it out. Beautiful bows today--will try with Maria in the saddle on the next cool day.
