Update 8/3

Overall Thoughts:

I've been pleased this week with the overall changes in his carriage and consistency in the contact. I believe it was super helpful having the saddle fit on Thursday as he's been moving really nicely since. I noticed changes in the balance of his shoulders since playing the wave exercise as suggested by Susie. Today was spent primarily at the trot looking for some real stability to take place there. He is going to need a ton of trot work to solidify.

Patterns:

• Resistance to right bend - neck

• Withers lean toward left

• Haunches tend to drift to left
