Alot of you will know that I've been feeling abit down about my schooling with D recently and was seriously considering giving up dressage and going back to hacking. I had a lesson booked anyway tonight so I asked my RI to ride D instead so I could see what she was capable of. It was a real revelation to see that D is quite capable of staying in a consistent outline in trot and tracking up beautifully. It really inspired me to see what D can do but even more to know that I had got her into a place where she could work like that, she was just being fiesty about it with me. Last time my RI rode her she couldn't maintain a contact because she just didn't have the muscles in the right place. I got back on at the end and the difference was incredible. Roll on our next dressage test!
I know its not all going to be sorted over night but at least I can see now how far she's come and where we have the potential to go together.
