real shoulder in

Still dealing with bugs this morning, small gnats that drive both of us crazy! I may have to wait for windy days to do good work this summer.

Jordan did very well and keeps his head in spite of the bugs. He is doing good shoulder-in on both reins now. To the left it takes some effort to keep the haunches from falling out. At this point he does half-pass better than travers. Weird, but we'll take it! Tried some shoulder-in at the trot, and more transitions. We took one nice jump from the saddle--he shows talent for jumping. Trot starting to emerge.

Yesterday he gave me one nice bow in the barn. This took probably 20 minutes total of prep time over the last 3 days. Wow--what a good head on this horse.
