Foals are really growing fast. Ghost is a lot stocker, then the first pics you posted. I really like him. He looks like he was doing well for his "first" lesson.

He's doing well, he has put on weight and muscle. He has learned voice commands and lunging, so he just had to learn to carry a rider. He went into a canter on the wrong lead but was able to switch, and he was confused when Tracey first started reining him, but by the end of the lesson, understood what he was being asked. He accepted a rider very well for a newbie. They spent several minutes just getting him used to weight in a stirrup and someone mounting, dismounting, before moving him forward at a walk, then trot and once around the ring in a canter. The whole lesson didn't last 30minutes.
