Slowing the Jog

Going to look at videos now... Thanks.

He stops DEAD... and completly under himself. No shuffling.

Have you ever seen a young horse back funky like they don't know where to put their feet, it is like that only going forward.

Try lateral work, builds his back muscles so that he can carry a tight jog & lope

You guys crack me up, so last night I am riding, over emphasising sitting back, breathing and slowing down... I think the only thing that I did was make myself laugh to much. Heck I even closed my eyes, and imagined going slower but it seems that he didn't have the same wavelength as me... and when I opened my eyes... YEP still flying!

ha ha!

I did schedule a lesson on Wednesday with a trainer friend who is going to give me some pointers and ideas. HOPEFULLY she can help, I almost feel that it is insane that a horse can't jog. Every horse can jog. I know he is special but still.
