Today Prince and I did a little bit of one line zone 5 driving but mainly focused on circles. We started with a really nice, straight, phase one Yo-yo to the end of the 22ft line (something that has taken us a long time to accomplish) and then we focused on canter sends and maintaining gait at the canter for four laps in each direction.
Prince did it very easily to the right he cantered the four laps only breaking gait one or twice but picked up the canter again without me having to ask. To the left Prince had a little bit more trouble getting the correct lead but once he got that he maintained gait no problem. So after four laps each direction I brought him in and we had a nice rest.
We haven't done circles in a long time because this winter was extraordinarily icy so it was really nice to have a chance to focus on them and I was really pleased with how well Prince found the rhythm, relaxation and connection quickly and he remembered it all so well!!
We then spent some time hanging out together and then I helped Mom with Knightly plus played with and rode Knightly myself.
Naturally,
