Jade and Marco Oct 18th

My groom/student Jade on her 7 yr old Friesian, Marco, schooling. Although he won his first test in two years, this week, Jade felt he was a little behind the leg in the test itself. Today, despite it being the hottest October day on record, he was exploding off the leg, resulting in his best medium trot yet. He had no lengthening until we started to teach him to collect, and this is the result of only one week's schooling in lengthened strides. He never ceases to amaze us with his trainable nature and enthusiasm to learn! Music is by wonderful Cornish composer/guitarist, Al Marconi, http://www.almarconi.com

Hes going better still now Christina, did his first canter half passes this week, and offered this time, a very expressive and clean change at the end of one of them! I will indeed miss teaching them, and hope that Jade finds someone where she is moving to, to train them, who will realise their very formidable talent.

WOW!!!!! Lovely extended trot! And I just adored that lead change! You're going to miss teaching that pair.
