| Reno was energetic, so I rode him in tight circles with a diameter a little wider than your typical jump to get him calmed down and paying attention. |
 |
| I gradually widened the circle as he focused and slowed down. |
 |
| Trotting to the other side of the arena to repeat the circle exercise. |
 |
| I love this picture. |
 |
| Trotting in a large circle covering about half of the arena. |
 |
| By the end of the lesson I had more control over Reno. I had learned to grasp the reins tightly so they don't slip, thus encouraging Reno to keep a steady pace rather cantering or trotting too quickly. |
Awesome :-) you look like you are getting a lot more balanced.
