After a lovely afternoon in the sunshine spectating at Isleham, I took the opportunity to make the most of the good ground and last few rays of sun to get some photos of Charm schooling in the field.

He's making good progress (I think) everything is a lot more consistent now and he is working in a soft outline in all 3 paces the majority of the time. The canter is taking shape particularly now and the transitions are now quite rideable! He seems to be getting the hang of what I want from him really quickly and is not feeling racehorse-y now to sit on.

A few pics - sorry its phone pics as my camera still not fixed :(

And the dog couldn't keep out of the photographs either...

Yeah, I was going to say nice arse too! He looks lovely and soft and elastic and like you want to get on him and have a little sit!

He looks fad. Much stronger and softer and yes, very nice hind leg! He looks good fun and a complement to your schooling. :)

Lovely looking horse, it looks like he works very naturally as well, he's making it look easy! Well done and good luck with him :)

Tarrsteps - thankyou, not so sure its my schooling, just a horse that is physically finding the job quite easy!

Charem - he is a project and destined to be sold in a couple of months time. Hoping to pop him round a BE80/90 or equivalent before I advertise him. He has been easy so far, so hoping this is possible!
