I can feel my horse trying to back out from under me and sitting back and keeping the thought "keep the horse in front of you" I can make a HUGE difference in her going forward. It's as if she just gives up and says, "oh, ok, you've figured it out, so I may as well move."<br />She is especially good at backing out of work on my weak left lead but I am learning to not fall into my all trap of beating at her. On top of that, I know that I put too much weight on my right seat bone and this complicates matters and makes it especially uncomfortable for her (my Halfinger/Quarter Horse cob mare). But when I think of rising from my right hip in the posting trot (along with everything else), she goes so much better.<br />Thank you, Mary!redballoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235834632763124217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022820580938673541.post-55517838324259567472009-11-13T01:27:05.663-08:002009-11-13T01:27:05.663-08:00Hi Mary,

I have had terrible trouble getting him to bend/do a circle partly because he sin't moving forward properly I think. Anyway I shall move back, stop, shoving, kicking and flailing and let you know how we get on,<br /><br />many thanks<br />Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716200805822416935noreply@blogger.com
