Jump session this morning. He was a little difficult to smooth out and got fussy a couple of times. I'm not sure he likes my A/P saddle. Anyway, we finally took the 2' vertical together and we both did fine. When Maria comes back I'll have her set the poles and we'll work up to 2' 6", so we have some breathing room for the CT at RCPC.
Lateral work is amazing, though. Half pass on both sides very easy. Shoulder in could use some smoothing out, but it is totally controllable. Renvers on circle no problem, without a crop or spurs, btw. Very responsive.
Missing the canter lead when we jump to the right. He really loves the left lead lately--maybe there is some soreness or weakness on the left haunch. We will also work on it from the lunge, where he also can take the outside lead on the right rein.
Tracy dropped the trailer off this morning in our neighbor's front lawn and we practiced loading. He does not care for the trailer but walked on at my signal from the ground after some work. Did not tie him the first session. Will need to practice a couple more times.
