She was trying to get her medal in dressage so she sold him because he just had something about them and was never going to get over. Upper level dressage in general made him anxious, but changes were impossible. I hope Yankee isn't like that!!! I hope Bacardi's leg injury has healed up okay.

My old coach had me canter on the correct lead, 10 meter circle, then stop at the wall - then pick up counter canter for a few strides, then back to trot. Repeat a few times, change direction. We would only do it a few times so not to stress them, but every ride. Eventually you can ask for the change at the wall - and they should do it - but the wall helps prevent them from running off. Worth a shot.Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557992152073605177.post-81204146969901005402014-08-28T08:51:18.088-05:002014-08-28T08:51:18.088-05:00He does look really good in a doubleHe does look really good in a doubleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557992152073605177.post-80307472462822137552014-08-28T08:11:08.698-05:002014-08-28T08:11:08.698-05:00Oh, lead changes.
