So yes, this is technically before the start of the 6 month plan, but today I went to the yard and did something with the fat boy and took pictures so here we go, here's a little blog. In case you didn't guess by the title, today we did lots of going round in circles on the lunge.
Jack was apparently really not feeling work today as he was flat out asleep when I went to fetch him in (in the muddiest part of the field I kid you not)- no photos as I left my phone by the stable! Anyway, after I'd persuaded him that now is not the time for napping and giving him a mammoth groom as he looked horrendous, we got the pessoa out and did some work.
I only gave him a quick 20 minutes, but he worked very hard and actually probably went the nicest I've seen him go on the pessoa, he was a lot more relaxed and focused then he usually is which is surprising because it's been about a month since we last gave it a try and he's not the biggest fan in general. I really need to get my backside into gear and try to pessoa him more often to get those muscles working as he's quite stiff on his worst rein and really struggles with any inside bend.
He is looking very shiny at the moment; just need to get rid of that huge pot belly!!
