Day 80 (Leads, Side Passes and Forehand Control...)

Steve:
Diago is doing well, but it’s really draining. I am pleased with his training, but now with a month left I am wanting to do so much more with him and wondering how much further I can get him. It’s a competition and we all want to win and the stress of wondering how ready I am is coming out. This last week we worked mostly on picking up the right lead, side passing and forehand control. We rode through our obstacle course and then a small trail ride. We will continue to review and refine right up to the competition, add one or two new things and work on his softness.
