Started our lesson on a loose line just with him following me. In a serpentine shape, changing back and forth from following walking backwards to the side position to build confidence changing direction and following me through the change. Being insistent but not punishing. He is extremely sensitive to the whip and my energy when I do not over use them. Less is more.

At liberty continued to build on that concept, I would say he must go forward and then take off my pressure so he can learn to carry his own weight and I don’t need to be so loud. He came into a close circle around me, more-so to the right, and I used my draw to help him bending around me but established a good distance where he wasn’t falling on the right shoulder and I was drawing the circle line.
