We just did the usual- warm up long and low, slowly pick up contact from there. It took some encouragement to get him out of his hunter-trot rut and into some more energetic movement, but after some prodding he started working nicely. We did some pseudo-serpentines and leg yielding to loosen up, some overbending to the left and right.
Today was mostly about accuracy. Y'know, square halts and transitions AT the letter, not two strides after it. We had a real breakthrough when we cantered a balanced twenty meter circle at F and transitioned back to trot perfectly at the rail. After that, we cooled out and went back to the barn.
He gets a few differrent hoof treatments now that it's so wet, so while I waited for his sealant to dry, he got his mane and forelock cleaned up.
