Handsome Gavin

My Saturday ride was great.  My trainer hopped on first to show me what she was working on with Gav's canter (and canter transitions).  The right lead is much, much improved and because he's been getting mad props for his right lead (since it was so hard for him at first) now all he wants to do is canter to the right, even when the left lead is appropriate (and asked for).  Soooo… left lead was the main subject between Glenda and Gavin.  And since I'm always like "oh my horse's canter is beautiful" I figured I should take some video to show everyone.  So here it is.  This is to the left, so she was working on balancing him, but I think he looks great!  :)

  1. He DOES have a gorgeous canter - yum! I also like how your trainer gives with her hands to keep him from curling in. Yayyy Gavin!

    1. :) Thanks! And she's great - just started working with her about a year ago and it's been a good year for Gavin and I.

    1. Thanks!! :) I just adore him, and who knows - maybe you'll get to meet him at a show or two this summer! I think I'll be going to High Prairie (Colorado Horse Park) the first weekend in August, and maybe a few other shows (not totally set yet).
