Horse

Paddington is a clear-minded and willing horse. He always comes up to the fence waiting for you to do something with him. He easily moves off pressure and only needs small nuances of it to move where you want him to. Because of past experiences he does not handle excessive pressure very well but since he is a horse that likes to please and tries to understand what you want from him. I personally never had issues with that. As soon as he realizes he has room to figure things out without physical consequences (like he had in the past) there is almost nothing you can not teach him. He lunges easily both directions but still needs some work in figuring out how to use his body properly on the right hand side canter. The past 6 weeks he’s had a good load of ground work in to build muscle, figuring his body out better and strengthen coordination. He’s loading and travelling fine. He is used to saddle and bridle and also carried riders before.
