flippin' outline!

He is trying he dropped a couple of time, it is then a matter of trying to keep it a little longer each time, dont forget to praise him with your voice when he tries so he knows he is doing right.

2 other things to consider if his back is a little sore from his saddle he is not going to want to come round and down into an outline as his back needs to lift.

and secondly lunging with a pessoa or side reins might would help him build up his muscles to make it easier for him to stay in an outline

Exactly as Fi says- at the point he dropped his nose you should reward him with a light contact, but you need to be quick, keep the hands wide so you can immediately put pressure on should he raise his nose again, reward with a tickle with the fingers of the inside hand. He is trying for you!

he really is getting there!!

try slowing it all down a little bit ( it might the video though they can do that) but dont use the hand to slow it down- just slow down the rising trot - if you rise just a little bit slower and bring the shoulders up and back he will slow to match your speed and the energy wont be lost out the front door.

keep a supple elbow and think rhythm and cadence to help him balance- he lost it on that first corner as he was unbalanced from being too fast- was hard to see where you coming into trot from canter up the long side?

OH Sol, I really like Pete, he is lovely and tracks up well which is a step in the right direction if you ask me. And as the others have said you can see he is trying for you!!

Bless him.

I think you are doing really, really well!
