The view from my bedroom window…

Played with some in-hand work in our lesson today. This time I used both the bit and the cavesson reins and I could better feel their different effects on shaping the body. Karl seems to really enjoy this work. Another great tool to help him find proper bend and balanced carriage on his own.

We then rode in the bareback pad and I had some good shoulder-in feel. Trot work is slowly gaining. While bringing belly button to spine, lifting sternum up and forward. Sort of resetting my tense posture.
