This is a compilation of footage of Duncan, my APHA buckskin gelding. The work in the beginning is during a lesson--don't you love his reaction to the blanket draped on the vertical? :) I'm starting to get better adjusted to my new saddle, and I'm fighting the valiant fight against the hunching/roaching that I occasionally suffer from. His walk/canter transitions are improving significantly; I think a large part was me coming to some realizations with my position. I credit one particular "eureka!" moment I had in my bareback pad one evening (not on video). He is a joy to ride and really likes to have something to think through. The photo of him standing at the end is my answer to the recent comment on him being "downhill." Duncan begs to differ. :) [music by Coheed and Cambria]
