So pleased with Karl today. Meg reminded me less is more and we worked through the sticky spots from yesterday. Our under saddle trot work was balanced. We did more using the whole arena with shallow loops and changes of rein. Working on allowing with my hands and keeping just soft enough contact for him to fill up and reach into. He’s really stretching forward down both directions. After I became softer in my right hand, the head shaking stopped. Rode more canter too! Really fun.

Didn’t think to take a before picture, but cleaned up this area today.
