12.2 Hand Pony

Tonight my trainer decided that Banks is a 12.2 hand pony stuck in a 16.3 hand OTTB body. We mainly worked on ground work tonight as he hasn't had much of it. It truly astounded me how quick he learns. We worked on whoa, back, walk on and lunging both directions. The left was easy but the right, not so much. Although it was hard for him to "get it" going to the right he finally figured it out.I'm excited to work with him on the ground and teach him the basics. Were prob going to do groundwork for the next 2 weeks and slowly transition to riding. The bond on the ground means a lot to me and it's definatly something i suggest you guys try working on.
