Today I walked Newt out to the arena and lunged and rode him. It has been a while since we were both fit to ride so it was all new again. Well almost, except that I do have confidence in Newt and he has confidence in me. There was a lot of head shaking and inclination to speed up but I was not worried that he was thinking of dumping me and head back to the barn. He was able to canter on the lunge a little longer and not progress into a bucking runaway. We have made progress. It may be small progress but we are going in the right direction. Now we just need to keep up the work and make progress.
