Hmm. That's going to be a problem....
This morning, I took Benny out for another hack, and we had a couple of nice canters up in the woods. Then I had to duck to go under a low branch, and learnt that Benny treats leaning forwards when hacking as a signal to canter.
Oops.
Yeah, going to have to work on training him out of that one!
Other than that, we had a nice (if tiring) time, although it didn't take as long as I was expecting: we were back in 45 minutes, when that route would have taken maybe an hour and a quarter on GB. Might have to do something to slow the walk down a little! Now that I think back, though, I remember the time when I was plodding along on GB and a nearby neighbour came up behind me, had time to say two sentences, and then vanished off in the distance, all without moving out of walk. She favours horses with the same breeding as we think Benny has....
GB did better this time than last, Mike reports, which is also good. Maybe we will be able to manage without the sedation in a few weeks more?
Benny's been doing well in the school as well. No massive progress yet, but we managed a visible leg yield the other day, and we've started on turn on the forehand.
