Actual training pic. We are both progressing but wow, a young horse... now working on keeping his neck out and throatlatch open but not letting him drop down on the forehand. I've got to watch his tempo too, not to fast, and it's not overly fast, just too fast for him to stay up in front. A few months ago we had to work on straightening him on the right shoulder, I was letting him go through it, subtly. My elbows, my knees, not looking down, hands together, not too high, not blocking... Trying to keep it fun and not push too hard, I pick one thing to work on when I ride and when we get it, we're done. Especially since the grass is making them pretty full of themselves. Someone didn't come in for dinner the other night, he preferred to stay out with the cows. Will post that pic too. My friend who works there sent me pics, GAH! He's ridiculous!
Plus they run around so much outside, he's keeping himself pretty fit. Sigh... May might be tricky. We have another dressage clinic at the end of month and I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh, and I finally found a dressage saddle. It keeps my lower leg in a much better position than my old one does. Only 4 more weeks or so.
