Lovely lunchtime Lorna lesson

So lesson at lunchtime I do love my boy so, pop him out in the morning and he willingly comes over to come in at 12:00 even though it must mean work

So am on board and Lorna arrives asks what we've been up to, so go over hacking, Tom Graham and Balanced Rider

Lorna points out the walk has little energy it isn't marching if we are going to improve his suppleness then it needs to be a good quality walk that is going somewhere 

So basically when left to my own devices as time goes on between lessons I agree with C that we'll slob along 

How many times has Lorna said about a marching walk, how many times has SFO said more energy?

So rule of thumb if he doesn't break to trot then we may well be slobbing

GOAL FOR THE WEEK: Active marching walk

Still need to watch left hand on right rein it holds too much possibly compensating for weaker left leg?

On and back in trot, good crisp halts 

GOOD STUFF: Lorna noticed improvement in leg position, boy was more forwards with no whip, trot is improving
