Many many apologies to those who regularly read Enzo's blog! I have been so busy lately and I also managed to crack the screen on my phone and on my current phone the internet wont work so updating things isn't so easy!
So the little man has been doing amazing. Wednesday last week I had a dressage lesson with Anna Bostrand-Daly. (BD Equestrian) She loved him and he was a total star. We worked on flexions, making him more supple, riding squares instead of circles and just generally getting lots of changes of direction to get him more balanced too. Of course it was very hard work and he kept slamming the brakes on to catch his breath! Poor boy!
I also gave him a jump Monday and introduced him to his first double. He's loose jumped through grids so this shouldn't really of been a problem and it wasn't. We kept it small and if anything he was rushing through it slightly but that will come with work. I also added in some scary fillers/planks at the end, he needs to see some more things and it was VERY spooky. But with some persuasion we jumped through it every time even if it meant from a standstill :) and eventually he was flying so very pleased with him!
So last night I gave him a hair cut - he did have a trace clip that was growing out but now he has everything but his legs off. Tomorrow we are off schooling at Forest Edge. This is going to be his first ever course and will be a huge eye opener to him, I think he's going to be shocked!
All will be videoed and I'll definitely get that posted! Wish me luck!!
