Lesson on Pico - Long and Low

He needs to be a bloodhound for a few weeks.  :^)

Seriously, we worked on long and low -- to get his nose out and his poll down I have to practically be on the buckle.  He really tried hard though, which was a pleasant experience.  We worked on spiral in and out to get him to go to the bit.  Then changed to spiral in and out, figure 8.  

Canter was the same thing.  He drops his poll and raises his back and loses his balance, so we have a few miles yet to go there.

Lindsay was over and rode Gracie this am also.  Sound! I think it is her back and a saddle fit issue.
