Gave Harry the usual warm up on a long rein, but also included canter which made things interesting. Without me helping him out he got the lead wrong which made him all flustered. But that gave us something to work on.

Came back to walk to work on his lateral work now that he was a bit hyped up. As usual this was easy doing shoulder in to the left, hard to the right cos he always throws is shoulder down and goes sideways against the right leg - but thats why shoulder in right is good for him. So worked through that and got him moving away better from the leg.

Then got a few better canter trans from him, as we came back to trot I had to make sure he didn't curl up so as soon as he took a stride of trot I quietly raised his head and put him into a shoulder in until he settled.

Put Giant on the lunge quickly to see his soundness, his leg still has a bit of filling, but he looks sound now. So jumped on and we did lots of work in walk on flexions and lateral work. He is so cool at this now, lots of fun.

Started out with flexions at halt, lifting his head and getting him to chew on both sides without dropping his head. Then shoulder in on straight lines, focsing on flexion and getting him to soften, halting and flexing if he set against me a bit. And then the same work on circles.

Travers on straight lines, he was better today, not trying to move against my leg. And his new favourite, half pass. He thinks hes so smart doing this, so I sort of have to make sure he doesn't do too much, just keeping him on shallow angles.

Had his first little go at travers in trot, keeping it really slow, going sitting trot and just getting a few strides moving his quarters over to give himthe idea.
