Todays session was very productive real moments of change better engagement and a much better movement. I will let you make up your own minds.

I did think that was a good session , that travers is great physio for him it will be interesting to see the next session and what the horse takes forward from that.
 
Horse was going better, but rider seemed a bit tense, and tilting forward from her pelvis (almost as is she had sore muscles? ) Still not keen on what she does with her hands at times though.

Had to laugh, my 2 year old daughter was watching with me, and she was concerned that the horse had a hat on but the rider didn't! ( I make her wear her riding hat even when she brushing her pony lol)

Just tell your daughter the riders French it's good to start new national stereotypes .
 
I have watched nearly all of your previous videos & seen 'the bun fight' these threads have previously turned into.
Personally I think you should be very pleased with this session. He is holding a much better frame, poll is definitely up & the back is mostly remaining soft & swinging.
When he does dip BTV it is for much shorter periods of time.
There were some wonderful periods where he was really stepping under & freeing his front...just lovely to see.
He obviously enjoys lateral work, he strikes me as a 'busy' little chap & I think the lateral stuff challenges him & gets him thinking.
Previously this rider has, IMO, been unfairly judged. I saw plenty of softening & allowing. I also quite like the way she lets him do his little 'rat-a-tat' trot which is a form of release for him as well.
Anyway that's my humble opinion but I'm no great rider :)
I think it was a great session which showed a horse happy in his work.

Excellent summary imo. There is definately a rapport between Armas and his rider.
