Playing with the Spanish walk again

We had a lovely session lunging today and Moralejo was so chilled and went straight into a good rhythm in both walk and trot. A couple of short canters and some massage just below the poll really helped free him up. I'm very aware that 'playing' at liberty too much may not be helping keeping his alignment good but so far no worries. We finished with a play at the 'copy me' spanish walk; he really tried even if his concentration waned at times, I really must finish training the SW this time. I rode him up and down to the field today and it's a while since I sat on him bareback and.....I swear he's slimmer! Either that or all my stretching work is making me more flexible lol!!! It felt nice to sit on a warm back and feel his muscles.

Love the vid! I bet he's thinking 'what's mum up to now?', looks like you have great communication to me. Reminds me of the Ministry of Funny Walks though. Hee hee ;-)
