What do you think of the progress so far?

Hi all!
I bought her as a broodmare and want to do dressage with her. When I bought her she had a foal plus one on the way. She lost the foal she was carrying and weened the older one. My plan is to train her to do dressage. She was backed but cannot walk a straight line! She cannot do ANYTHING in the school but she was hacked a lot. I’ve been walking her in the arena and doing lots of circles, halts and teaching her to respond to the leg. We had our first trot this week which was soooo wobbly but she’s a really fast learner. I’m doing lots of groundwork too. Please feel free to give advice or comment. I have a before and after picture.

Was she in foal in the before picture? She's looking lovely now!

Yes, the owner wouldn't sell her to me until she had the foal but she lost it and he let me buy her.

Thank you! I'm planning to keep a record of her progress

She looks like a lovely mare now you've given her some TLC. Have fun with her.
