7-25-12 Had an early coaching session on the playground. All the students are doing fantastic! Rode in the bareback pad and confidence bridle. Lordy felt amazing bareback. We started out around the 50 foot corrals and then moved out to the meadow. Ended our session with following the rail of the 180 foot honeycomb on the outside. The new Relax rein technique of Linda's is awesome and helps so much!!! Lordy was super at walk, trot and canter. Even had some wonderful moments of stretching and roundness where he felt connected and powerful!
