Arrived at Bowlings riding school today, Lyric very happy to see me, and I was told he was of his diet.
We got straight into a fast trot around the school arena, then I was brief on how to do a '20 metre' tight trotting circle. I started this in walk to get the basics right, then attempted in Trot. Lyric was desperate to cut the corners and slow down, but I worked on him to keep his pace. -I've been told I need shout at him more.
We carried on with rising trot and also working on some other basic techniques for a 'hacking ride' I may be doing on saturday with friends. -More on that soon.
Still a bit more work on the turning circles to do but getting there! Perfect dismount this week, no falling, bruising or awkward landings!
We took Lyric back to his stable and he looked a lot happier for his diet being over, he was almost skipping back to his stable!
