We worked hard on our MT today, doing what we do with Debbie Jones only more of it - to wit: staying on a circle but pushing the trot on. It doesn't sound like much, does it! Today I kept insisting on More and eventually (it took a while!) Wilson's neck rounded and he opened his shoulders. It felt enormous although it probably isn't really, but I'm hoping that he has now realised that he can trot More without either running or breaking into canter. We had a couple of goes up the long side and it wasn't as good but it was better than it has been, and I think it was a lot better across the diagonal. Cue LOTS of pattings and shriekings of "Good boy! Clever, clever boy!" - I do hope nobody was there to hear!
Our left rein is much weaker and it didn't quite happen but if we can at least get it on one rein I know it's just a matter of time before we can do it on the other.
I hope he practises by himself because we could really do with cracking this.
And then we'll go out ...
