Ooooh!

Rode again this morning. Remembered to flex him left and right, and he was much better and softer and more supple than yesterday.

Worked on our canter transitions, same exercise as yesterday: canter half a circle, trot half a circle so that he began to anticipate what I was going to ask and I was able to tone down my aids a lot. He's begun to learn to canter when I make a "Tss" sound - works from walk to canter too :chuffed: Just wish he'd go canter-walk!

Ran through E42. No more difficult than a Novice really although obviously the qualitative issues come into play. Anyway we're going to give it a go on Saturday and see what happens.

Haven't felt this excited for ages!
