Back In The Saddle - 2 Weeks On.

[Buddha]

Over the last 2 weeks, I have carried on with my manage work, working on warming up really well, then walk, trot, walk transitions with a couple of canters towards the end of the session. We have a mile long drive to the farm, and I have been walking down the drive and back to cool Shiney down after the schooling.

I have been on a couple of hacks with the girls from the yard. One time, Shiney was really switched on and tried to canter off with me! Ha Ha. I managed to bring him back to trot and we survived.. Went on a hack today with Mickeymoo, and she spotted I was leaning slightly forward which made my hands come back towards my body, and thats what makes Shiney fizzy and wanting to canter. Once I realised what I was doing and sat up more, Shiney and myself felt a lot more relaxed.

I am feeling its really coming together, so I have decided to bring my lessons forward and start in 2 weeks.

BD here I come!!
