We worked on a 20m circle and for the first time ever we had lovely bend, and at some points he was even on the bit!
Was very chuffed that she said I had a fab lower leg position and seat, this used to be my biggest weakness but hours of no stirrups and pointers from Tamara's mum has obviously paid off. I need to work on bending my arms and not riding like I am pushing a wheelbarrow LOL No wonder he didn't bend! Also put a flash on him as he keep crossing his jaw and he went much straighter. I was soo pleased, she reckons she will have me XC in no time. On a bit of high I agreed to hack out at 6 this morning with another livery and have just got back. We were out for 2 1/2 hrs and I really noticed a difference having a flash on him. Also my instructor did everything up tighter...noseband, flash girth and as a result he snatched a lot les... can't wait for the next one
