Ok, the last two nights have been so BRILLIANTLY, FANTASTICALLY OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
lol.
last night i played online and freestyle, his driving from zone 5 is getting so good, he will play all seven games (except circle) from there now.
freestyle he was being a star, i practiced driving him using the carrot stick rather than the reins and he was really good, and he felt so awesome i thought hmm... why not? so i literally shifted my weight and he took off into canter, he sort of waggled his legs around a bit at first as if getting into position, then settled into a nice canter. i only did a few strides, but i was soooo proud of him! and me lol, it was pretty nervewracking! (remember he hasnt cantered with me on his back for over 5 months!)
Anyway, i played tonight and he was great online and freestyle, i completely dropped my reins and just used the stick and my body to speed up, slow down and turn, he was in a very responsive, willing mood, and he learnt to move from pressure very quickly. we played with the weave and figure 8 pattern, then just circleing in a spiral in and out etc. then we had a canter (one handed agh!) and he was beautiful again both ways.
I am so proud of my man!! Big BIG hugs to him tonight.
I can see us really getting somewhere this summer now.
YEEHA!
