No riding lesson last week, so of course this week New York had to be the laziest I've ever seen him. My thighs are full of ow as a result.
I've never had him drop out of the canter repeatedly before! Even the time he was TIRED after being run around like a nut, he only broke gait once, when I let up contact and therefore wasn't holding him up. :P This time it was...all over the place. What the hell, York!
I am not quite convinced I grabbed the right horse out of turnout after all...somehow, we must have all mistaken some other, far lazier horse for New York. I even found myself doing what I used to do with George, and 'holding' the canter cue.
Oh, and corners. Just fuck corners at the canter. Sigh!
