Merry Christmas everybody
Antares really seems to be growing up both mentally and physically, we've been working hard to develop my own skills and his and it's all paying off. He's such a sweet horse, always tries his best for me.
We've just started half pass under saddle and I think he enjoys the challenge
I had never really done much lateral work before so I went for some schoolmaster lessons earlier in the year so I could get the feel and I started working on shoulder in with him in the spring and took it from there. I had a good play around so I could work out what aid to use for what and found that he had a particular flair for renvers on a circle, the half pass was a natural progression from that and we will work to improve the balance and cadence in walk before attempting it in trot
