I got to ride Trooper today, and he wasn’t the most obedient horse I’ve ridden.  Belle was a great horse to ride when considering how well she listened.  Although Belle was also a great horse to ride in preparation since Belle didn’t listen too much to the reigns when I was directing her.  Trooper was the same, but so much worse.  I felt really good doing the 2-point in the trot today.  The feeling was great to just stand in 2-point while the horse was doing it’s thing under me.  I was able to balance there and there was no problems in keeping my control, or being able to direct the horse at the same time.  I was really happy about the being able to direct the horse at the same time especially.  The biggest problem with Trooper was trying to direct him in general.  He really didn’t listen to what I was trying to do.
