Evening hack , slowly getting used to the total contact saddle. Walk and stand is wonderful, trot is a bit unbalanced when I need to put leg on and I hold onto her mane with one hand for light seat canter because I’m pulling on her mouth Intermittently where I’m just not balanced enough . This is harder than I expected but I still really like the connection, feeling her move and the response.
The brightest  part of the day was the evening dog walk, it’s been dull and wet . Got things off the desk and had a quick video call with Ma n Pa  ( looking good driving around in their T shirts , windows down and sunglasses on - good old Essex) !
