The devil is in the details – what’s up with this? Butter rode smoothly without motion problems – but, a call to the blacksmith was made along with an email to the same said blacksmith & barn managers seeking advice & an appointment – about this chip – should we worry -- ? If you do not know, or you are not sure – ask.

Hands rolled over –
we need to fix that – even with a crop – we can still
carry our hands correctly.

Great! Right leg is holding steady – while the – left (unseen) leg should be pushing the hind end to
make the turn.
Good use of leading rein!
Left leg should
be pushing
to the right to make
that turn of the
quarters
