The lovely moment when out hacking that you ask for extended canter and pony shows you he's installed a gallop button instead <3 just goes to show all the collecting work etc is finally paying off with Rory and he's maturing into himself. I'm so proud of my little pony at times like this. Continued the hack with playing over a few logs etc and in the water in the quarry. Must remember though not to mess with his head and hold him too much in his hacking bridle on approach to jumps as it's much stronger than his schooling/ jumping bit and he will back off too much.
