Afternoon!
Just wanted to drop by with a little update on King and I, now I feel like I have something to update on. :lol:
I have decided now to really crack on with some lessons, initially on the flat but also now introducing some lessons over fences too. I have never really had flat work lessons, as I have always felt confidence wise that jump lessons were more important for me... However now that confidence is a little higher, and a better paid job means I can have more than one lesson in a blue moon we have had a fair few flat work lessons over the past few months.
Initially, he was good, he is forever improving... and my instructor taught King previously, so knows exactly how far he has come already.
However the past week or two, both of us seem to be getting it.
I am very proud of both of us, and am so thankful to my instructor for all her help.
These were earlier this week... getting there...
A little video...

And then in our lesson yesterday, so exciting to see him looking like this, his frame and length of stride are like a different horse to a month ago!

Over the moon with how much stronger he is looking, how much more accepting of a contact he is (baring in mind there was a time in his life, not so long ago that if you took up any contact he planted himself and threatened to go up!), how rideable he is and just generally how positive everything is at the moment.
