I decided that groundwork was the way to go yesterday. Besides, you can't really get frustrated with that, because you can always fix it. Plus, if he does something bad who cares - I'm not on his back. So I lunged him a lot with the side reigns and worked on bending and cantering. Then we worked on turn on the forehand and learning to move away from pressure. Lastly we went to the wall and worked on a bit of leg yielding. Theses are all things he has done, but needed a refresher. Hoping it will carry through when I'm on him. I want to not lunge him and just ride so it can be more productive.
Today we will try ground poles and cross rails.
