Wednesday was gorgeous so I took every advantage of the nice weather to ride the horses. I rode Lego for about 45 minutes. After our breakdown this weekend I decided I'd take a step back and go back to our foundation of building up flexibility and roundness through bending. I decided not to canter him, but to instead work on circles and bending at the trot. He is still definitely more stiff on the left side than the right. I have to keep reminding myself that I shouldn't compare him to Chick. Its like a parent who compares their children....it doesn't really work and most likely sets you up for trouble. I need to work on comparing his progress to where we were instead. What is good for Lego, not what Chick can do.
So on that note, we'll take a step back for a few weeks and reallllly focus hard on bending.
I also rode Chick, though not for long as I had to get to work :(
