English training, conditioning and toning...

My english trainer Trisha Swift came out today and we scheduled lessons for the next 3 weeks, during which we will try to create a foundation that will allow him to go on in disciplines of hunter jumper, dressage, eventing, english pleasure and if someone wants to turn him into a western pleasure horse that will work also...He has a great stride, big overstep, a smooth transition to trot and a soft mouth, he has a round carriage and is unusually straight for a youngster. He likes ground poles and I have lunged him over several obstacles, which he generally enjoys and he has started to put voice command and leg, rein and seat-aids together to help him back up, come to a smooth stop and also turn nicely.
