This afternoon the sun came out and I thought it was the perfect time to start the last preparations with Chapsi. This time I plan (all being well) to continue through to *proper* lunging and long reining in readiness for a late spring sit on. He was a good boy as we ran through all the basics...go forwards, stop, back, follow, lead etc but today I played around with moving his shoulders away from me too (hips are very easy to move already) at first he thought I was mad but after a couple of tries he seemed to have it.
He's filled out really well now (oops maybe a little too well), looking almost stocky from some angles. He is still a big baby but I think a few months of work will help him grow up.

winter has done him no harm then! looking good.. if a shade lighter in coat! :-)
He is lovely! What breed is he? I love dark grays.
He's looking good! How do you start asking him to move his shoulders away?
Golden, he's a PRE (pure blood spanish) and sadly he will get lighter, which in itself is no problem except he will show the dirt more!!!
Di, that depends, LOL, I'll blog that later.

He's a cutie, Trudi!
Well is just beautiful I love the baroque breeds! Yeah that is true most greys do. It is a gene that causes the color at it progresses with age. My TB was born blood bay and turned a lovely rose grey in his early years, and then moved to flea bitten etc in his twilight.
