Ehh. That's kind of how I feel all around today. I made plans with a million people today and felt bad the whole time I was at the barn because I had so much to do. When I got on him he was pretty good, relaxed but SLOW! Maybe it was my go go go personality today that made it seem unbearable. I decided to tackle his bad bending direction first. He was good at the walk, started out good at the trot, but then spooked and lost all focus. I then spent what seemed like forever working on my outside reign and not giving him any break until he listened. I wonder if it's me asking him wrong or in a way he doesn't know or him just being stubborn. That took a long time and I was getting more and more frustrated. When he finally did something a little right I switched directions and warmed him up the other way. He was pretty good, but I was just really frustrated for some reason. He was maybe being a little worse than he usually is, but it seemed a ton worse. After that I just took him up the drive way a few times and he has improved tremendously at that, so that was good. Pretty blah ride, my fault, not his. I just liked brushing him and hanging out with him today.
