Tuesday was Steve Hadley clinic at our yard, he finally thought Saf and I were turning a corner as she is listening to me more, I still have that horrid habbit where I think I am not giving so throw my right hand up her neck and hold on

You'll regret saying that when you find a hairy, fat and semi-broken carthorse in your stable on Wednesday morning

I have a feeling she would be begging me to return her once I had made an "attempt" at riding her too

Crikey - you have been busy!
And managed to find time to go to work as well.

Great pics and video, blip in the middle but finished well. I only saw her touch one fence

Good luck

looking fab - you are too hard on yourself!

sounds like you really are becoming a dressage diva - I am running away from you!!
 
You are far too busy!!!
Am lovin her grunts and you are seriously racking up your points now (dressage diva

)
 
Saf has always been vocal in her grunts and she is also vocal with her legs, will paw if she wants something or stamp if she hates something so funny

I blame our yard manager, she said "is the line riding well?" I said "I have been down it on 7, 6 and 5" somehow that translates in wacking it up to top of the wings
