Rupert is on ride number 6. Zach is doing a great job! A few days ago he cantered a bit after walking and trotting in the round pen. Friday he put on a side pull bridle and walk, trotted and cantered to the right no problem, nice and relaxed. Canter to the left was a rodeo bronc ride. I don't know how Zach stayed on as long as he did! He got right back on trotted around then got off and put a snaffle bit in. Thank goodness as the next L canter was a total take off. Haunches down, forehand up and scooting as fast as he could go in the round pen. In 30 seconds I think he went around 2-3 times. Zach was amazing staying on that. Lots of experience starting young horses well over 1,000 is what kept him on. His comment "That is a lot of horse". He repeated it again with the same scoot and run. Very interesting how the Right canter is so relaxed and to the L, his stiff side it is not.
