Duncan, 07/25/08

Here's another quick video of Duncan, my 2001 APHA buckskin gelding, ending with a course. Yes, I did ask him to break to a trot before the final diagonal line (I wasn't digging the idea of doing it in cross-canter). He was being very responsive and listening well, but he was definitely a bit pokey when we did a course on account of the heat! He has made tremendous progress, so I have no complaints--he didn't look at anything funny, he didn't do anything silly. We have more shows just around the corner, so we're getting some practice in when we can! :)

Thank you; you are far too kind. It just takes practice--I still always have to tweak things with my position, too.
