Alex likes long and low

Just a quick post tonight, or rather this morning... Alex was wonderful tonight.  I think he is really getting the "long and low" concept, he wanted to do it all the way around the arena at all three gates.  I was even able to push him forward a little more and got to feel more of that nice trot I think he will have.  Only a few baby bucks at the canter to the left tonight, which is a huge improvement over our last few outings.  He was so calm, relaxed and confident, I still can't really believe it.  Tonight was the most confident I have ever felt riding him (so far at least).  I am over the moon.
