Vet visited last Friday, been medicating Solo's leg, he feels much better.
Started the lesson out trotting nicley, moving nicley off legs, I still used a bit of piano hand while getting corners. Picked up the canter on his bad side first, fought for the corners, almost got all the way in.
Started jumping with outside line, trot in to straight line halt. Gave in after 1st x, Solo veered off to the right and jumped across second jump weird. Got 6 1/2 strides when it should have been 6. Worked on keeping him straight and getting pace, then once I got it, with not having floaty hands. Once we got that we added the other outside x on the other side (at a trot) and then since I wanted to keep going I wasn't so strong with my aids and he cantered the corner when I was supposed to halt. I could tell he was feeling better though because he easily flexed and gave me a nice small circle at the canter til we walked. Then we trotted into the line and cantered the other x, and the corner to the diagonal x. I love the way Solo gets all excited and I can start to actually feel spots and practice looking around corners to my next jump like people at shows. Everything is so much more clear and calm when you don't have to worry about trotting.
