EXCELLENT lesson for all you Wanless fans..

[madabout2]

I have just had a lesson from one of Mary Wanless' pupils and wow what a difference.
Never thought I rode so badly before! Have now discovered my knicker line tendon (blush) and the difference riding from those tendons makes, not to mention aligning my jodphur zip and sternum..
Can't wait for a fortnight when I get the next lesson!

YAY! That's great!! (and it has taken you all this time after seeing me and H to get a lesson on your own! LOL! Shame on you!

) Got to say it's a revellation isn't it! Is the instructor based near you?

Yes!! but Mary wasn't quite as intimate with you infront of everyone as Denise was with me!! Never thought I'd ride while thinking about my cervix!!(hope no men are around)

My instructor is a Mary Wanless student. Ive only had one lesson so far (bloomin poorly horse) but the difference it made was astonishing! Really brilliant - and i learnt the knicker line thing too!!

Cant wait for my next lesson!!

Please elaborate on the Knicker line theory...it's intruiging me!!!

 

[miamibear]

Basically its using your seat to keep the horse together, pushing with your knicker line to ride the movement you want out of your horse. Does that make sense?

Thats what i took out of it anyway but ive only had one lesson so far! I assume i will get more familiar with my knicker line as time goes on
