Driving improved!

After a rough start in the ground driving lessons this week, we have made massive improvements with just a few fore days of practice. Flash's tantrums have gotten less and less and today they were non existent.  I could see the wheels turning in his noggin as we went around and could clearly read his body language too. Several times he thought about stopping and turning with a slight hesitation but when I subtly reminded him with a little direction from the outside rein, he stayed on course and did not even offer to swing sideways or paw a foot.

I am actually quite pleased that he is having these tantrums and to be able to work through them right now.  I much rather deal with these outbursts on the ground before I get in the saddle and have the ground so much farther away.
