I rode Cactus at the start of the week on a lovely newly harrowed arena, I have struggled to improve his way of going in the school so I have taken a step back this week and I am going to long rein him more regularly. The first trot photo is quite telling, he doesn't bend on a circle, he leans at a 45 degree angle. When you add me on the top, probably crooked, flailing furiously and ineffectively to try and straighten him back up the whole situation gets frustratingly messy. He enjoys the long reining and I think I am seeing an improvement as the week has gone on. Had a stroll past mum's house on Saturday, have had a good laugh at the retrospective planning application I spotted this week, fair to say the neighbours now realise they scored an own goal.
