Driller Man aka Ricky came to us just under a month ago for some training. Hes made tremendous progress in his short time in all aspects, from not being able to canter on a lunge (or really lunge all that well or properly), to being voice command at all gaits on the lunge, having a bit more focus under saddle, coping when being ridden with or without other horses in the arena, and his way of going in general. He came to us inverted and tracky, and has been slowly learning how to bend around the leg, accept contact and reach down for the bit, and carry a rhythm on his own. We did mostly walking exercises for the first few rides, then transitioning to half circles of trot, then full circles of trot until he could hold a shape, not fall in or out, and not change his rhythm. We have done 3 sessions of canter work between this week and last, and its all together improving. Slow and steady ultimately beats it out in the end. When the building blocks are present, it makes the transitional steps EASY. Ill post some links to videos in the comments below. Were so proud of him!
