I think me and Blue are finally getting somewhere with this whole dressagey business!!!

I've been lunging him in the pessoa for about 15 mins 2 or 3 times a week for about 6/7 weeks now and then riding him (4/5 times a week) the way i was taught in the lesson i had about 2 months ago and now he will go in a nice soft outline in walk and he can hold it all together in trot for like a 20m circle before i have to go back to walk and try again, but i know its right cos he feels really together and comfortable (for a horse who is very bouncy and fairly impossible to do sitting trot on!) so am quite happy it seems to be working! !

Psst how do you go from 'getting it' in walk and trot to 'getting it' in canter? We haven't managed that yet!

Good for you - well done

The canter comes with lots of time and practice - it has taken my girl and I all this year to start to get round in canter - but once thehorse is balance and has 'got it' in walk and trot it will come! Sometimes need to use more legs and hands though if you know what I mean!
Keep up the good work, and good luck!
