Still in lockdown (not jealous at all you WA people ).
However lessons have been deemed safe to return now. So I actually have something to report!
Took the pony out to a new instructor on Thursday. Always a bit apprehensive and self conscious around new people.
But apart from an awful first canter transition (that was my fault!) I had a super lesson and L felt super rideable.
We tried a few canter exercises which will help our canter adjustability. Definitely going back
I'm super pleased that we are finally cracking the canter transitions. We have about a 70% success rate in pushing up from behind rather than launch into a flat and running canter I have to correct. Soooo many more transitions in our future, lockdown is good for something at least!
Hope everyone is well and I am hoping to report from no-more-lockdown land next week
