Hacking and working in the ring

Awww... Danny loves his dogs. They love to play! It drives me bonkers because I worry, but they love chasing each other. Danny will run laps in the morning while I'm getting feed ready... with the dogs hot on his heals. It's great exercise for all. He's so careful about not getting them too. :) Good baby horse!

Lately I've been doing a bit of ring work and then a bit of hacking. :) Danny's really coming along nicely. We're getting better at getting the proper lead at the canter and can even make a full circle now. Our upward and downward transitions are more balanced. And we're working on square halts every time too.

He's a trail riding machine! Nothing really fazes him and he's so brave. The hardest part is telling him to keep it minimal and not canter every where. Which is hard, because his canter is so nice! :)
