Had an amazing schooling session with MrT today. He has an enormous canter that can be very tight and can get stuck bouncing up and down instead of freely going forward. If he does find forward after one circuit he’ll start to lean on my hands… if I give the reins he falls out of canter. This can result in a flying imbalance trot.. it’s exhausting for both of us. I’ve been as stuck with this as he has as the physical effort felt too much for both of us recently.
I did not know how bad my health was until I was better… I’ve lost 20kg, I’ve had painful encapsulated breast implants removed… my asthema is much better and I actually felt equal to the task. So today we worked on his canter transitions from walk and trot and maintaining the canter by staying in a good balance simply by transitioning between canter ( energy) and stretchy walk (relax) as we started to find relaxed energy in both the canter started to feel free and easy.
