Pacha - march 23, 2009

Large indoor arena, almost empty. Draw reins, no spurs, no whip. Pacha was very warm. A long (20') walk session, with figures and halts, looking for stretching back and neck. A little on his toes again, and uneasy in front of the usual scary points such as cloth left on the wooden fence of the arena. When calmness and steadiness were obtained, trot session went fine, with significant extensions which is a clear step-ahead with Pacha. Canter started a bit wild, but steadiness was obtained after a short walk session. And finally, I tested a little two-track work at walk. I was pleased to obtain satisfactory shoulder-ins both hands, with nice placer (high neck with ramener), no hastiness in strides and relaxing on the inside hand. Cherry on the cake, we ended up with a leg yield with inside bending on a half diagonal.
Good session.
