Lesson time again




Today the weather was nice to us and we were able to have another lesson. Violet and I have been continuing to improve on the basics and since our last lesson our canter work is a lot straighter and we're not collapsing on the inside when on the left rein. Today we worked some more on looking out while working on a circle, we're making progress at walk and trot, but canter work especially the left side is still quite difficult.
Being winter i'm only able to ride weekends which means vi is only getting one or two rides a week, so i'm going to leave it a little longer before our next lesson. This will allow us to get in some decent practice and if i do too much to often her poor muscles will just get too sore.

I've also decided to ride bareback when i take taani for rides over winter to improve my balance, core strength and position for next season.
