Worked for 45 minutes this morning before it got hot. No lunging, just a little bit of ground work. He can step over nearly straight or with a little counter-bend for one or two steps now. He can also step into a half-pass for one or two steps from the ground. Difficult to do this correctly.
In the saddle he is warming up very easily now. Nice serpentines at the walk and trot with little fuss over the change of bend. Trot-walk transitions with a mostly steady head now. Right bend easier than left. Canter on 15m circles in both directions. Terrific shoulder in and discernible travers on both reins. Neck extension at the trot. Beautiful collected trot after shoulder-in at the walk.
