Mr B is feeling fit and well, probably the spring grass too but in today's lesson he was getting a bit hot in canter, got quite strong and started to try to take over, which is not unusual. We did an exercise that really got him back on side which I thought I'd share as I'd not come across it before. Medium trot across diagonal to X, then leg yield the rest of the diagonal. It took a couple of goes to get him to listen sufficiently to get the leg yield but when I did and we went back to canter he did some lovely work. He's such a quick enthusiastic horse but quite sensitive so it's helpful to have a few different exercises to hand. Any other good exercises that you've come across?
