So after 5 weeks of no riding due to my oh working all hours god sends therefore no childcare. I've ended my share as I couldn't commit to riding as often as I should, which I'm sad about but there you go.
So anyway booked a lesson as on hols this week. AMAZING!!! Working on shoulder in, which I thought I was ok at but I know I had a habit of hanging on the inside rein a bit.
Bit of an understatement. Matt was able to explain what I should be feeling and picked up on where I've been going wrong. He saw that I was anticipating making a mistake and tensing up through my back and getting in a pickle. Que some well timed deep breaths and I got it, really got how to ride from inside leg into outside hand.
Bring on true self carriage and wonderful medium trot and popped in a bit of half pass. It was easy once I got it!!!
Finished with a lovely stretchy trot. I couldn't stop smiling. Great lesson!!!
