You know that trot?

The one that's so good? Well it was shite today, rofl! We got it in the end, but it took some doing. So just as I was starting to disappear up my own arse, good old Wilson rescued me.

It was worth persevering though because once we had our good trot we were able to do some cantery-cantery. The surface was nice and damp and it certainly helped. I was really pleased with our upwards transitions: Wilson is starting to stay soft and round and not come against the hand quite so much. We did a lot of transitions into and out of canter and they are definitely improving, as is the canter itself, but I was most pleased with our very last canter-trot transition which was definitely Good: he really listened to my seat and I don't think I used my rein at all, so he stayed soft and round and just flowed into trot.

Making strawberry jam today. Don't like making it, I can never get it quite right.

  1. Well, it's a good idea to use strawberries. Mebbe that's where you're going wrong.
