We now have twiggy walking on the lunge properly with me riding and doing most of the steering and walk /halt transitions so today we had a trot!
hvaing been in training i doubt she will have ever experienced rising trot! we gave it a shot today and in the end were doing 3 or 4 large circles (if you can call them that they were probably more egg shaped!) at a time in a nice free trot and very sensibly too! I think it may soon be time that we are let off the lunge - we've tried to do it so that its me directing her rather than my mum at the end of the lunge line and she is only attached to the headcollar anyway as we didnt want the lunge pulling on her mouth.
Next thing to sort out is keeping an even contact and moving straight as it is all still a bit snakey at the moment although thats babies i guess!
ooooo so proud of my baby!
