Groundwork with Fayal

I just wanted to share this video real quick with you guys. It's my first video on YouTube and it is anything but a pro video being shaky and all, but never the less you see our work.

I have been riding Fayal for about three weeks now almost everyday and I noticed that he was learning very quickly but seemed to get a bit worse just recently. Maybe he was bored or sore...
Not entirely sure why, I switched tactics a bit and started riding him on the trails and went back to more groundwork.

He is truly amazing on the trails! He canters very relaxed with loose rains and I'm enjoying every minute of it. The groundwork is more a game than anything else and it should also help to build muscles as well as tighten the bond between us. So in the video you can see us working together on our groundwork. I just included the little hill into our working area to help him loosen up, keep him alert, and make him stronger.

Check it out!
