They really do work!
Started magic off with a stretchy but round walk followed by trot where I picked him up a bit (he still finds it very hard to stretch in trot but we're working on it) , threw in a few leg yields on each rein and even managed one across the entire width of the school without loosing his back end. Followed this with a couple of rein backs which are coming on nicely then started to walk trot walk transitions. This livened him up nicely so started doing halt trot halt transitions with the odd rein back to trot. He was lovely to ride, a little strong and heavy in the downwards transitions but this improved the more we did.
Did a few circles in canter on each rein after and he was much better than yesterday. Seemed to be sat back more and he was a lot slower than yesterday. He was also more 'up' in front.
Now I just need to work on getting trot to canter and canter to trot transitions sharper so I can add those in to really get him working properly.
