Friday September 14th
Finally a huge breakthrough with Free! I start the day like usual, playing on the ground and then riding. He gets irritated when I ask him to go faster so he bucks. I take his head to my leg and use my foot on that side to bump his stomach with. This irritates him so he decides that it is much easier to lope without bucking. We go through this a few times and then he decides he would rather lope nicely. There is a lot less hesitation on his part this time and we start doing more figures eights and stops. I am impressed with what a nice whoa he has, but then this IS his favorite word :) He does much better today overall and I am noticing that our connection has grown a lot stronger since our crazy road trip!
