i had the best lesson i have ever had and learned more in half an hour than i have in all my life of riding!! Liberty had three bowen treatments and is now a different horse, we were offered lessons by the therapist as she is an AI. well we had a lesson, inturupted by some technical difficulties (it was 6oclock at night an dhte lights went out) but we worked on my balance, which i think i have none of. it was pretty much getting a proper dressage position, and i'm a novice!! but it went really well, we explained at the begining of the lesson that she has been leaning on our hands ALOT, resisting and blocking being able to slow her down! and then she would start shaking her head

and the instructor made me work fot the whole 45mins (we ran over) with no rein contact at all, i might as well have dropped the reins, and using my seat to move her, we worked mainly on walk trot transitions reinless on a circle at the bottom end of the school and i was turning 5 metre turns in trot reinless which i have never learned to do before!! i honestly have learned so much. it only involves squeezing with the lower leg so.. bulging calf muscles are on their way!!!

Well done really glad it's going well, I used to be more out of breath than the horse after a lesson but riding with your seat makes it easier and less hard work, now the horse is sweating as much as me... Need more work so I can get the horse sweating and NOT me. !!!!

was having exactly same problem, espesh when i was still at riding school and showed on the exhunter / laziest horse in the world, and asked to canter him while keeping him working properly!! he was ahrd to keep in a canter spraling and lazy, let alone in an outline! but our girl is stubborn but quite forward going, espesially after bowen, she has loosened up loads and the slightest leg aid and she's full of herself!!
