Yesterday I went to ride Belvedere again. It has been two weeks since I last rode him and wow he has completely changed once again! Last time he was very soft and relaxed but everything felt very fragile. Like at any moment it could all fall apart. We were also not asking much from him, but over the last two weeks Tor has been continuing on with him and it has all become much more established and she has been asking him to work properly. This does mean that he sometimes resists it because he finds it hard, but it is clearly on the right track. It was very different to what he was two weeks ago, but in a good way. It didn't feel like it was about to fall apart and I could actually ride him from leg to hand with a strong contact like a normal horse! He is clearly much more uphill and collected than he ever has been before so I am hoping that with time he will get used to using these new muscles and will find it easier and therefore will have a more consistent and relaxed outline. However I think it all bodes well for the future!
