Peteton - Training 2 & 3 Comments

Training 2 - 61.071%
Slight wobble on centerline
Counterbent (he was spooking at judge's stand), but he got the same comment later when he wasn't
Needs bend
On forehand in one canter
Not straight on centerline
Work on keeping haunches straight in transitions (he has been wiggling like a motorcycle); canter can be on forehand at times
Under submission, she circled attention & confidence (ha! understatement!) and acceptance of the bridle

Training 3 - 61.6%
Haunches trailing on centerline
Counterbent
Inconsistent bend, disobedient (this was a bizarre leap out of nowhere and then right back to work)
Haunches in
Uphill transition
"uphill"
Hurried canter
Nose needs to be out in trot stretchy circle
Lovely horse with much potential; want to keep haunches straight

(Again, lots of good comments too. Next post will be about how this was much harder for him being in a new place.)
