| My little boy!! |
Today I got straight on him, Gina lead me to the school and let me off straight away. We did the whole session on our own he was amazing! A tiny bit spooky to start with going large round the school, but he never freaks out just waits for me to pat him and tell him its ok and then off he goes again.

| Pretending to be a dressage horsey! |
He is so soft in his mouth its lovely, and naturally hes round, he's never going to ride 'inverted' its just brilliant for such a young horse to be showing so much promise even if its only on the flat so far! I mainly worked him on a circle still easier as our steering still isnt great as i found out! He just drifts out through his right shoulder something I really need to work on. Once he realised he shouldnt do it he was fine again. So after our first attempt at cantering yesterday I thought I would give it a go off the lunge today...feeling brave. Not that he gives me a reason not to feel brave other than lack of steering!

| Pointing his little toes! |
On the right rein he struck off correct lead both times was brilliant! On the left lead he really struggles, again something to work on but he's 3... and not been ridden very long at all and after a few attempts we got it again! so I left it on a really good note as I think he was a little tired too!
He's now going to have a well deserved couple of days off and then probably a week more work and he'll be on holiday for a few months to go away and think about things. Next year will be here before I know it!
