 hey everyone!


 so what have you all been working on in your lessons lately to help get ready for the show season? i know each horse has their own quirks that need work so what are you all working on to fix them?


in my lesson we have been working on transitions and getting an inside bend, flying lead changes, and practising adjusting our horse's strides.


 


(trying to get another horse related topic started!)

How's that for an old lady????

I'm working on my hands -- they are always too high or too far apart or flapping about like a goose. Also my reins are usually too long. And I'm working on not getting bit or kicked by Prince! Any advice for when he turns around and pretends to try to nip me? I figure if he really wanted to bite me he could so I typically ignore him. Is that the right thing to do?

 yea most likely  prince is a weird guy  he is so fussy and grouchy  i would just ignore him and ride him and just ride him through it.  but i know what you mean he is really hard to understand sometimes  he is just random

Hi Chauffeur (cute name by the way)...I was wondering when you were going to break down and join the message board craziness!  You're doing a great job on "Evil" aka Prince, keep it up
