Woke up late and didn't get saddled up until 6:45. By then it was already pretty hot. Jordan was a bit tired and slow. Nevertheless we had a good session, all flatwork today.
Travers at the walk coming along well. Renvers on the circle developing. More good shoulder in at the trot. Can lose impulsion. Left rein of shoulder in requires more finesse--the right shoulder in is on auto pilot. Riding straight on the right rein he shows a very steady head at the trot with nice flexion at the poll. On the left rein he sticks his nose out more and it takes a lot of fooling around to bring him on the bit.
Multiple canter departs on both leads. Right lead difficult to pick up--missed it several times.
Many walk halt walk transitions today. Doing much better. Small attempts at effet d'ensemble to some effect.
