Young horse balance debate!

Oh yes, I think she's North West isn't she?  I've been in touch with Emma Bailey and am going to go down to her for a lesson but it will take a bit of organising so can't do it immediately.

Thanks everyone for the input, I've taken it on board!

I've been worried that asking for inside flexion at this stage will trade one fault for another.  So I get rid of the counterflexion but he tenses up again because he doesn't want me pestering his mouth.  But I suppose, since you're mostly all in agreement,  that I best give it a try and see how he goes.
