Paolo in Training Update


A few weeks after sending my pony off to Wendy Gray in Colbert, GA, I made the 2 hour drive over there to see what he's learned.

I had ridden him for about 18 months in a bosal, so riding with a bit is a new experience for him!

And yes, looks like he's dropped a few pounds.

He understands pressure on the sides of his mouth so it hasn't been too difficult getting him used to it.

All the circles and serpentines we trotted have made a difference, as he's already turning around a bit.

Wendy uses a lot of inside rein to help him cross over in front, and she sidepasses him as well to encourage him crossing over as well. 

All of this can be seen in the video above.

Enjoy!
