Totally understand Gretchen, will we be seeing the you aboard the awesome Party at rallies?
Stiff and sore today, shoulders and neck hurt, and got a swollen ankle - but tis life.
Other than the unscheduled dismount I had a fantastic day and got a lot out of both my lessons, it was a great feeling as we were going and feeling Tally respond and move better.
I have been struggling for awhile in asking for Tally to flex to the inside when going on the right rein, and Deb instructed us how to encourage this by moving my hips and shoulders which in turn puts my legs in the proper position and helps Tally with understanding what i am asking for.
The added bonus was that he was starting to carry himself properly, instead of his head up in the air all the time; which is partially due to unbalance, but that is his normal head carriage as well.
Anyway, things are coming together - albit slowly but that is ok.
Blitzen you should be proud of yourself and Taz, you guys were superstars!
