Solid groundwork

I did ground driving sessions with Jordan yesterday afternoon and today. Very solid sessions. Bending well and changing directions more easily now. Able to flex laterally at a halt. Some backing. W-T-C. Good head position off the cavesson. Will try the bit again tomorrow.

Jumping barrels from a halt later in the day. A little trouble controlling his excitement when cantering on the lunge. Should be more desensitized to the lunge whip.

Focusing on getting good flexions off of the bridle, inside and outside. I think his one rein stop needs to be trained better for safety.
