Good session, in company of Pacha's owner riding his other horse Milha, a big Hanoverian-type mare. Pacha is not disturbed by her presence. Same pattern as usual. Progress with posting trot, which was regular from the start. Improvement also at canter start, where I succeeded reducing the aids to the very light degree suiting Pacha. Pictures were taken by a friend where I could see that ramener at canter could become too strong, with nose slightly behind the vertical. I will have to pay attention to this.
Good progress also regarding standstill at halt, which I asked several times during the walk and trot sequences. I also attempted a first (very light) bending exercise with a shoulder-fore at walk - result was satisfactory, with a clear yielding at poll and a beginning of the inner hindleg engagement.
Return to stables after a quiet halt when dismounting.
