Eddy Goes BOOM

Eddy has had his first real temper tantrum of the year! It was a big huge leap sideways into a canter rather than picking up a normal working trot.He was feeling pretty spunky and had to pee, go figure! He had plenty of opportunities to pee but he didn't use any of them so he had to work. After leaping sideways he figured he'd be allowed to stop so I gave him something else to do. I made him work, he had to canter around the ring 3 times instead of stopping. Then he tried to spin into the center and that didn't go over very well so he had to canter a small circle and then go around another 3 times. It's amazing how reverse phycology works on him. He wanted to run so I made him run and then he didn't want to run any more. All the trot transitions after that where much better ;)
