A little Update...

Well, Maxwell has passed by his 6 month retirement from racing anniversary and is doing so well!

We still have moments. Those are to be expected. But we're starting to work as a team. Sometimes he gets a bit stubborn, acts a bit grumpy, but overall once he gets into a routine, he's happy to work and goes around like a good little TB. We still have many moments of disconnection, but it seems we are having many more moments of connection, too. The most recent photos were taken from a video during our lesson this past weekend. What an improvement Max is making! It's funny, we drilled the flatwork for 20 minutes before we started jumping, and it was the moments between the jumps that we had our best flatwork for this lesson! Anyhow, without further ado, here is my special boy starting to make some forward progress!






 He's always been good about reaching under himself, but you can see how much more engaged his hind end is, and he's working over his back. No false frame, just a natural lower headset because he's using his body as he should. So proud of how fancy my Maxwell is looking when he and I 'get' it!
