Little update from sat for my records.
Took Rory out for a good fast hack to shake off the cobwebs so he was in seventh heaven. Decided to have a mess with Duke when I got back and fully tacked him up to lunge. Completely not fussed about banging stirrups etc so grabbed Em and I got on him.
Still not fussed so had a walk round the school on both reins with Em on the lungeline. Asked for a little trot and he went good as gold thought I'd stop if he unbalanced on the corner but he was fine so did a full lap to Em's disgust.
Think its a case of long reining to establish steering really now as the next step.
