Secret - Day 3

Secret - poor fella! Think he thought he was heading off for a weeks rest in a grassy paddock after yesterdays' ride . . . . He started lethargic and heavy until we added a bit of sass to him. The sass worked, he really needs to keep himself occupied and his brain in gear, I find he drifts off the never,never land if left to his own devices. So, ground work done we saddled him up and headed off around the arena. I think his working speed is slightly faster than some people have realised, but with all the slow steady work he's got a bit used to being able to bumble around. The upshot of that is that we stick and balled him after a quick break and found the break at the poll that was missing in yesterdays photo's. He followed the hit ball really nicely and we got a few nice canter lead changes (at one point he decided it was easier to stay on the same leg but the arena walls helped him work that one out and he worked it out well - next time H comes I reckon he should be skipping well)
