Outline lesson schema (all work done on both reins)
Started off on long reinPicked up walk did some halts, moved off into trot.
Trot large and incorporate some circles, send trot forwards on circle.
SI long side, straighten canter large, trot at C
Add in canter circles
canter down centre line -> halt
walk to canter
trot large & canter large
What went well?
Long rein work
SI long side, straighten canter large, trot at C
final trot large& final canter large
came out soft
What went less well?
Canter circles
Need to remember initial trot work is to loosen C up and is a chance for me to address position.
What were the problems?
Initial lack of forwards
Overriding canter transitions
Holding in canter
How did we deal with the problems?
Trot -> walk -> trot for softness & trot -> halt -> trot for forwards
Walk to canter to help with over riding transitions
Thinking of rhythm and imagery to help with holding in canter
Base of neck is it mobile?
How well did I ride?
Not my absolute best as legs flailing in desperation at canter. I know intellectually this doesn't work, yet it still gets trotted out as a possible solution. Softness was good right from the start, I did feel once I settled into lesson that my hands were better and right hand whilst still being a work in progress is progressing.
