Xerex january 2009

Xerex has had a few months break from the riding. We have just started the training again. We are working on keeping the back working in the right position, keeping a steady soft contact in the bit, turning the shoulder on the circle, bending correctly etc. He lacks very much some energy, but if I rush him he loses his back (I don't have a saddle yet either, so can't do rising trot). But projects ahead are to get more push and energy in the movement so the back can start swinging!
