Beautiful day to ride bareback :)

Today i let deuce free in the arena and just walked/trotted bareback after that. Sunday isn't normally his day off, but he has been kind of sluggish to my leg and less willing lately so i thought a nice easy break would be good. When i rode him yesterday he tried to curl up behind the bit again instead of holding himself up. I kept pushing him forward but he still kept trying to hang on me. I think he may have started this since i've recently started working him more on the bit. Maybe i need to do shorter intervals of collection and then let him on a longer rein more often. We'll see how tomorrow goes - i'm hoping to get a ride in before class at 6:30.
