Aside from barn drama...

Berky and I had a nice ride. I've been tormenting myself without stirrups lately in attempt to make myself a little less pathetic for upcoming lessons. I switched back to the regular eggbutt snaffle because he's been well behaved and the corkscrew kills his gums.

Warmed up long and low both ways, trotted 20m circles in frame, worked on bend. He's so stiff tracking right and I've had to really work to keep him from drifting his hip out in corners....Anyways, got some nice flexion, did some leg yeilding to loosen him up, and then went to no stirrups for a while. He's really behind my leg most of the time- laziest OTTB I've ever ridden. Another thing we have to work on...
