So today I (and thus, Indy) started off really sluggish. I was tight and stressed out, hence he was not moving forward. Once I got him forward, we worked a lot on working on as long a rein as possible, basically at the buckle, and having him respond to seat aids, we did a bunch of lengthenings/shortenings, and just trying to get him to remain on the rail and basically get in the corners even on a very long rein. He was wonderful and I love how he's so adjustable through the seat.
Mia said something I'd been thinking before: he has a QH personality in a TB body. He likes to be ridden like a QH: don't mess with my face, I can take care of this, I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing because I think I'm supposed to do it. Such a good guy, and I'm so privileged to ride him!
