silkyraven | Getting somewhere at last?

Dino was on super form yesterday! We had a bunch of canter I didn’t ask for which was still an evasion from the trot I was asking for, but I’ll take it over the lack of motivation we had before. It’s safe to say this clicker stuff is really beginning to bear fruit. We had a hiccup at the start of the week where he got a bit stuck in a very go slow frame of mind as I think I was either blocking him, or wasn’t being clear enough about what I wanted. We took a couple of days to lunge and have a day off and then he was much better yesterday! So lovely to see!

I’m arranging a session on a simulator for later this month to see if I am blocking him or not sitting straight. It’s so hard to tell from aboard the horse but the simulator has pressure pads which will show if I’m sitting too far to one side or something. Really looking forward to it!
