After I fell the other day I ended up with a sore shoulder and a few big black bruises on my leg but I was fine. Knowing that I'd be getting on the bike to do a workout as well as ride today I thought I'd stick to improving on our aids at a walk. As usual Teddy did a great job, but as usual he had to do something new in a dummy spit kind of way. This time I got on and when I asked him to move on he did a small buck. I hardly felt it but it was there. I continued to ask and he continued to do it for about 10 seconds, then gave up and went about his business.
This is one of three things -
1. He wants my big arse off his back and would rather be in the paddock doing what he's doing in the photo above
2. He is sore and I'm aggravating it
3. He's just a punk
It's probably a combination of 1 and 3 but I'll get him checked for 2 if he keeps it up.
As for the aids - fantastic response. I was happy with my position and how we did things so it was good.
Oh and there was no head tossing.
Oh and he had a small dummy spit when I took his bridle off.
Just a regular day with Teddy really.
