Moonie and Me

So today was a challege with Moonie. I haven't ridden him in awhile so I chose him as my horse for the day. He was doing great until we had to trot. He was a bit forward and I haven't used the curb bit in awhile so that was confusing too. He kept trying to cut corners so Sam had me trot little circles in the corners he was trying to cut. He finally realized he couldn't get away with it and went around the corners like he should. After doing that in both directions Sam directed me through the canter. We picked up the right lead everytime which was a plus in my book. Although it was really hard to keep him collected and slow and direct him through the turns properly. I think I need some real work with directing him and using the curb more efficiently before I try that again. But in the end, it was a great lesson and I had an awesome time.
