Fingers are crossed to see how PJ goes today. It started storming on my way to the barn so no chance to lunge him outside. I lucked out and was able to sneak him into the indoor when no one was in there. He looked good on the lunge. The downwards are a little sticky still.

Got the mud transferred from his tail to my arms, clothes and face. Need to try the new cordless clippers with him. I need somebody to hold him.

I rode with confidence and left him alone to start with and he was very good. We had a couple of awesome canter departs - just leg back and off we went out of trot to canter. Less is so more with him. G and MJ were watching a bit and noticed he looked fine. I have been dealing with this for so long I think I forgot what sound is like

Wyatt and I practiced a little - bit of a bummer it was raining so we couldn't play outside much. This was very evident when we got home. If he could have he would have wrestled me down.
