Blu was really good this afternoon. It was hot and sticky but he marched on without too much prodding. He was a little "sticky" during his initial trot work so we went right to canter. It unstuck him. We then went back to walk and did a bit of lateral work. I especially have developed a fondness for renver. It makes him straight and when going to the left, it helps me capture that outside shoulder he likes to plaster against the wall.
Our canter work was great. He got a little strong as we went along but I think that is one of his evasions as he gets tired. So every time he thought he should lead the dance, I threw a 15m circle in... I know he was cursing me :-) We worked on the counter canter and he was really good in both directions. I think I have to slowly amp that up for him.
He was soaked with sweat so off we went for a shower and a rub down with Sore No More liniment. I love this stuff.
Tomorrow maybe some light work and then a hack if everything dries out from the deluge we are now getting. I also hope the rain washes the flies away... they are disgusting right about now.
