Loooooong session

Nice long session on Jordan today. His cruise lesson is doing better, but I'm still frustrated that he hasn't mastered it yet. It's not his fault and I should just chill. Riding with contact has gotten 200% better, though, so I know this lesson is working. w-t-w on the circle is very good. Multiple t-c-t transitions as well. Figuring out his leads--his canter stride is so short I have to look down to check. I did a couple of quick half passes at the walk towards the end that were really fun. He was a bit dull today overall but still managed to be a little fidgety when I put him away. At any rate, he really did well and I'm very pleased with progress to date.
