Next lesson Ill be in the arena with Krystyn riding Duke

Catching up on Dukes lessons over the past 7 or so. He started just doing round pen and we watched his walking.The last 4 lessons I put his saddle on whether we were going to work on the mounting block of even ride it was optional.

Today Krystyn then worked on his patience at the mounting block. Last week in front of Kristin we had been working out in the outside ring and when we came to do our usual practice at the block, I only had to step up nd he stayed straight while I testing him by standing still, he stood too without moving away from the block. It was impressive.  The weeks before he had taken so much time t ofinally listen. Krystyn was using the lunging whip. ?Well he was in the arena and Krystyn wants me to learn to stare him by giving him leg cues and keeping him on track. Today he passe with flying colors while she rode him and esting him around the arena.

It was great, maybe next week.
