Half Pass

Today we started half pass, well I started C can clearly do it even with Muppet rider.

I love him so he tries his heart out for me.

Canter half pass varied from a 4 to a 7 (Clare also judges and I asked how good it actually was)

Nearly fell off when he shot off after some crows flew off the bales that line the long side as windbreak. Still least Clare has seen it now and I'm having a NLP session with her on the 6th. She is pretty confident I can be rid of the what ifs.

I do think he likes his lessons with Clare she is full of praise for him and radiates a positive can do aura, her view is the more I am challenged the more I rise to it. On the left rein I ride (our least preferred rein) whereas on the right she says I coast and don't ride enough as in I abandon him.

The figure of 8 canter pattern change leg through walk, I need to watch as he got very sharp to leg/idea and I was half asleep and not ready and nearly out the plate (again)
