Definitely some good pointers all around.<br /><br />I agree that gymnastics are a great way to get them thinking... but we did a different gymnastic with the H/J trainer that actually worked way better for him, so it was an interesting comparison. I'll post about the lesson with the H/J trainer and you'll see what I mean. Both trainers had the same idea, but did slightly different exercises, and one worked better than the other. SUPER interesting to see what works for your horse, and always good to have more teaching tools in your toolbox.<br /><br />As for keeping my reins loopy, that's when he ducked out and I almost face-planted the standard.

And a ground person to pick up the poles. Start low, then change and add to it each time. He has to learn to think and the poles give him the striding. Unless he's a moron, they usually get tired of being whacked by poles. You keep your reins loopy and let him screw it up and then figure it out.eventer79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03160817772061132147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-6987001958997153882013-12-09T18:58:14.141-06:002013-12-09T18:58:14.141-06:00Such a cutie!
