He was pretty fresh coming out of the stall, but a
Little ground work brought him back to earth. I can't emphasize that enough, groundwork must be done every day on a young horse. The ride itself, was pretty uneventful. We worked on turning into the fence, which forces him to get out of his own way and work his front end over. He still fight against the bit just a little, but lots and lots and lots of wet Saddleblankets will take care that. Rode in the pasture, worked on getting him to follow his nose without pushing his shoulders out.
