In the right direction

After a great ride Monday, I feel that Quinn and I are finally moving in the right direction. My fear of the mounting block is almost gone for good. I don't even care if he takes a few steps as I get on, as naughty as that is!!! We are now going from the indoor arena to the outdoor arena without even a glance at anything around him. I am hopeful that the next step is a short trailride. Maybe Friday, depending on the weather. Our walk to trot transitions are getting better daily. He is barely putting his head up and trying his annoying canter departs instead. I am really looking forward to the next clinic that Colleen Hoekstra will be giving the last weekend of May. I hope that she is impressed with our progress. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will be on his best behavior. Although he tends to show off for a crowd. We'll see.
