So, before I even start I do want to say that this wasn't meant to be perfect in anyway and I wasn't trying to get an outline out of him. I was just trying to walk when I was meant to, halt when I was meant to etc etc...
I have done one tiny test before and failed miserably (Not on him though) so I figured I should have another go!
Everything went better than expected and he stopped and started when he was meant to. It was very very hard to concentrate as there was a tractor in the background (Moving, not the stationary one) and some kids on a trampoline, blowing whistles! For a horse that freaks out in the school, he did very very well!
Also, the school isn't great, so I had rather wobbly straight lines XD
