This isn't bad, and I am quite happy with the very clear diagonal pair in the canter since his canter has always been a bit muddled. The first canter had a lot of shoulder popping action- Penn was up and through for several long sides, and I was rewarded with sit and very free shoulders (for longsides at a time instead of like 2 strides at a time). This video doesn't have as much free shoulder motion because I think he was getting tired by that point, and of course I was trying to get the job done again under video pressure, haha.

Quick Canter Video
Just a short video clip for today. I rode last night, and Penn was good. I had an incredible right lead canter, so I asked one of the ladies to video it for me. What happens when you break out the video camera? The work quality goes down!

He is adorable and I love his ears!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a little power house. I love watching videos of him!
ReplyDeleteha the 'video pressure' struggle is so real! that's why i video errrrrything, to make that go away lol.... seriously tho, he's looking really good! and as someone who is dealing with a lot of curling under (video coming tomorrow) i'm jealous of that sense of 'lift' in his front end
ReplyDeleteLove the lift in the canter. Also the cadence of his trot is to die for!
ReplyDeleteI've been taking fence videos of myself more often now because I totally do the same thing suddenly with videos. Like I stop riding, never been a problem before.
ReplyDeleteYou guys look great! He is such a nice mover :)
I really like the quality of the trot before you canter, and his canter is so lovely! Really great progress!
