Wow! Good Boy!

Barokko was very very good today!

He had the day off yesterday, today I worked him on the longe. He was very stable on the "bit" in walk and trot, and pretty good in canter also. His transitions were spot on in all gaits, so I practiced trot-halt-trot and walk-canter-walk, which both went really well.

I worked on changing the rein through the middle of the circle without stopping, and we ended up with ca 8m figure-8's (in walk), fluid and flowing with good bend :D

The grass is a little less potent, and he's lost a little weight, he's beginning to look like a horse again, rather than a spotted hippo :P
