PROGRESSION POSTS

Ok, yeah, I'm working on a lesson wrap up and I have tons of great pictures and there is so much to talk about, but I haven't done an honest-to-goodness progression in a while. LET'S DO THAT AGAIN. Instead of doing a multi year sort of thing, let's just look at this summer/fall:

It's definitely a long, slow process and there's more to do. What I'm seeing is Courage learning to really relax his topline and use his hind end. I know he's 9, but this is completely contrary to his race training.

I can't wait to see how he looks in the spring!

  1. Everything you've posted from the last few weeks shows Courage REALLY pushing with his hind end. Such a quick response to your new instruction, and a great base for further training! Both of you are looking fantastic!
