Baby Deuce grows up

This is my riding journal. It is meant to help document the
training of my young horse Deuce. I'm teaching him all about dressage,
but he teaches me so much too!

New tricks

Today we worked on canter transitions and bending again. Deuce did good but he was a bit lazy. Maybe his muscles were a little too loose after the massage yesterday. He got the best transitions ever since his injury so that's good news. I did ask him to come more on the bit though and he tried to get away by curling up. I had to keep pushing him forward so that he wouldn't be behind the bit. Hopefully he learned that I won't hold him up and he really does need to carry himself more.
I'm going to just do some east cavaletti and crossrails tommorow - he has worked pretty hard the past few days.
