Yesterday afternoon I grabbed Jordan and had him jump the barrels a few times. It was too hot to do much else. He is clearing the barrels well, but I'd like to see him round better. For some reason he looks better on the right rein than the left. Should keep working on this until he softens better. Overall, lunging is pretty good now. Getting softer on the right rein, for sure.
This morning we did walk and trot work in the new arena. He is doing good shoulder in on the circle now, at the walk and trot. Waiting for him to show more expression at the trot. His work was a little rushed this morning. He has the idea of travers on both reins now, and is well started on renvers on the circle, both reins. We can do good shoulder in on straight lines, too, at walk or trot. No canter work today.
No more work on the bow recently--can't get his attention with all the gnats in his face. Need to wait for some cooler weather or windy days. However, he is dealing better with the bugs in general.
