| Feeling good! |
We went out to the grass field for today's session. Started with the usual longe session and Rory had a little bouncing episode, but settled into the work routine very quickly.

| The new bridle was of no concern. |
I took him over to the sand ring to use the mounting block, then returned to the grass. He was quite good today and gave me some very nice moments of balanced and rounded trot. At times he got a bit sticky about steering, but the grass field gives me a little extra incentive to convince him to respond as it has some dips and rough patches that I'd prefer to avoid. We cantered a bit and he did get the left lead and kept it all the way round. The left lead was tough to get and we had several false starts.
The chiropractor was out in the afternoon. It turns out that Rory had knocked his hip out of alignment when he sat down on the longe last week. I'm hoping that's the cause of his sudden difficulty with the left lead canter.
