We did it!!!

So yesterday was a MAJOR break-through for me and my gelding... We got turns on the forehand; left to right AND right to left off the fence... Half-circles to! Plus I had his transitions(up and downward) very snappy and he was working on the bit, with impulsion, and we got the 20m circle to the left correct for the most part; bending and all! Not to mention, we started work on side-stepping, and I got 2 steps from the right to left, and one from the left to right.

So proud of my curly.. He's really been coming along in the past week and i've been gaining back my strength and we're coming back strong and exceeding where we were before I stopped riding..

Congratulations. Always nice when something happens right.

Yes! It is... I'm so proud of him... Mainly for dealing with me as I know his previous owner was much more skilled and talented then I could ever hope to be! But he's saved my butt so many times in the past 3 years, and he's helped me improve in leaps and bounds...
