Today we ride into the state forest. Gally is going well, but he appears to be more spooked by everything than normally. We can ride past everything, but it's like he has lost confidence.
On the other hand, when we trot I get a beautiful trot, on the aids, nice and relaxed with rhythm and swing in his stride. In the past most trots were like running.
So now I am confused as to what is causing the change. Is it the fact that the "patting" has somehow made him rely on me more, because I am now the boss. Or has our little run and bail episode yesterday changed the nature of riding?
