We had a gorgeous sunny morning today, perfect barn weather. It's supposed to be quite warm today so it seemed like a good day for an early morning. Yeager did fabulous in turnout this morning. He had his breakfast out in the paddock. More impressively, he became excited when a mare and foal were turned out next to him (the foal always excites him) but calmed down on his own. After breakfast, we did a 30 minute lunge workout in side reins on the fourth ring- which is the most contact he's worked with so far. His canter is improving every week. He can now hold a rhythmic canter for two+ laps. He was a little strong and excitable going to the right but settled down and worked. There was no wild running around, even after two days off.
A VERY successful morning.
