Illusion trotting in hand

Sorry it's so blurry. He has such a nice trot! The arena footing isn't the best but he still looks good! Towards the end of the video when we turn the footing changes. We haven't worked with headset of anything. Maybe showmanship in the future? haha he backed up nicely and start trotting with me! He has only started as a riding horse in January and I'm only able to work with him on the weekends till summer but he's be improving a lot!

@Barrelracing318 well, he just seems ike tight and jsut awkward, more in his back right stifle, like back right if your facing him head on, your right.

@RonnyMyBoy1 Also the arena is uneven and changes the depth of footing from like the first half to the second half. We usually don't work in the indoor

@RonnyMyBoy1 Hmm thanks as in stiff or one of his legs look off? I stretch him out every grooming session when I get there. He doesn't short step though (which I know isn't the only sign of soreness) as every step he takes his hind legs step where his front legs were.

he looked a bit sore in his back end.
