Took C down to arena and he went into prancy snorty pony mode and my confidence ebbed away.
Walked him around in hand a few times to try and get the tickle out of his toes, then he started spooking at the shoot. Was now about ready to call it a day then other person sharing turned up but not with her boy but with a horse she hacks out and by now I was really ready to call it a day.
11:15 and still no Sheena I had lesson starting at 11:00 tried calling her no answer so got on and just tried to remember that it doesn't matter what I do just do it well.
So did a square with walk pirouettes in corners, then a bit of in and out on a circle.
Now 11:30 and Sheena arrived having had the lesson down at 11:30 in her diary.
So on with the lesson.
Sheena commented how much more supple he was compared to the last time we did this type of pole work.
Still issues with canter when not carrying whip or wearing spurs as too tight in seat so end up collecting him rather than allowing him forward.
