Floating trot :)

Yesterday our trot work was great! I've been riding him long and low so I decided to have Deuce go more into the bridle yesterday. I felt him using his back in the trot more than i ever have...and his stride lengthenings felt like he was floating! It was really fun to ride.

We worked on canter trot canter transitions again. Tons of them. I think he's over his tantrum now so that's good. I don't expect him to be completely on the bit when he goes from trot to canter. But he definately cannot throw his head up and use his neck to go into the canter. He's finally learning this I think. I need to be careful with my position when I ask for the canter too so I make sure I'm not leaning to one side.

I found that it's better to ask for canter departs on the rail when he is going track left, and on a circle when he
is going track right. He tends to over bend to the left so I think that's why. I also need to be sure to always have weight in my right stirrup. I don't want Deuce to grow up crooked! :)
