New Reins

 Rode at home. gorgeous day

hacked to arena. rode in western bit and new reins and new hellhat helmet

worked on our WE dressage and gate. good pony! got a motor walk and trot..my position helps. got both canter leads twice with no issue, though right hind gave out hard first time on the right. Fairly long canter set (for us and where we are). fine after. no tongue but he thought about it after the canters. played with the pattern/test. reinback still a struggle.. needs so much more rein. focused on soft transitions and using his neck well. did the serpentine wide pole under saddle. 

practiced with the gate but.. he's just too tall. I have to lean so much that I throw him off to the side. 

fun ride
