She did it!

I took her out today, ride and lead with the welshie gelding and had the best work i think i've ever had from her!

So, the answer is lengthen my legs by about 6 inches - i thought my hips might dislocate - loads more seat (and employ the welsh one to nip her just behind the girth.)

Seriously though i've always avoided asking her to work properly when I've been riding and leading but it really worked.

I shall have to see whether she's as good tomorrow on her own when she can have 110% of my concentration.

Thank you for your comments, must remember more leg, more seat!

Pleased you've done it! Hope your inner thigh muscles aren't hurting too much after lengthening your stirrups so much!
