Today's dressage lesson

Things to remember:

• Must look up down the centre line
• Must ride forwards into the halts and lift up his ribcage so he stays soft.  Use legs to ride the back legs underneath him into a square halt
• Don't sacrifice softness for uphill outline - keep the softness and suppleness even if not the more advanced outline
• Start the stretchy stuff before the marker so he is really stretching and top of his neck needs to drop below his withers
• Lots of excessive bending in the warmup to get him really soft and accepting
