This week Brody and I got back into a pretty steady routine of nightly play, and Brody seems happy about it. The other night I stayed up ‘til about midnight, and when I went to shut off the outside lights I could see him at the gate, peering through the back door at me! I went out a gave him a carrot. We’re having so much fun, I’m finding it hard to tear myself away from our sessions at the end of the evening, and I always end up lingering to give him some good scratching.

I’m asking for more effort and Brody gives it, usually willingly. He’s still tossing his head whenever I ask him to pick up his pace, though, and will sometimes rear when I correct him (with a swish of the string at his shoulder) during circles for stopping himself or for deciding to change directions. When he does this while changing directions, it’s a pretty good bit of rollback for a warmblood whose seller described him as “clunky”!
