Spent two hours with Vinnie last night

Vinnie and I had the arena to ourselves last night which is unusual with the crappy wet weather we have had. Everyone is inside. I realized that if I wait until 7, usually everyone is gone by then. So I on days when I want to do some serious work, after 7 is the time to do it:)

We spent a lot of time working on bending and moving clockwise. He is definitely stiffer going that way and really needs the work. He can barely pick up the canter. We worked on a lot of serpentine's and circles. I also did some canter transition work. He is really getting better now that he is being ridden constantly. I think he is just so used to getting away with things with the lesson students so it's good to have that consistency when I ride him.

I am amazed every day at how amazing he is as a horse in terms of temperament. Nothing fazes this horse. Despite his stubbornness, you could ride him backwards and he would just think "whatever". I fall in love with him more every day:)
