I just rode Deuce in the arena today. He didn't relax as much as I would like today, but he did do some nice leg yields. I'm realizing that I should keep him on his toes by doing circles, leg yields or loops periodically. This really helps keep him attentive. I also worked on canter transitions to get him more responsive to the leg. He was great going to left, but to the right he had a little trouble engaging his hind end. He kicked out a little when I asked him to canter to the right but the canter itself was pretty relaxed. Maybe his back is a little sore after being ridden all week?
Deuce will get Monday and Tuesday off and then light riding on Wednesday. Next week we'll work on canter transition again, then maybe some jumping work?
