Lesson recap
- Move the horse, don’t let the horse move me. With Fetti, this means committing to only forward motion at the walk instead of shifting sideways all the time. Also means actively riding every step of the circle so she can’t drop me sideways off an edge.
- Find the left and right edges, then squish the lost one back into place. Left is difficult.
- Tilt forward and back to find center. It will feel too far forward. This is fine. Stay there and “plugged in.”
- Take left leg. Rotate. Attach properly to horse. Repeat as necessary.
- Circle right more. It’s not doing either of us any favors to keep going left all the time.
- In transitions, stay with the horse, don’t lose that connected feeling by getting left behind.
- Engage left hind. In both directions of the circle, at both gaits. Think of moving it forward and diagonally towards right front.
- Practice turn on forehand on the ground. I don’t feel the cross-over well enough to insist while riding.
