Lesson with Abby:
Things too remember and apply!
Showmanship
- When starting make crossing over after judge nods one nice solid movement so my horse knows that we are ready too go
- When crossing over eyes are too be back up on judge by the time I've stopped
- When crossing over no " squatted" look, stand up tall and make sure its fluid
- When trotting try and concentrate on moving my body and legs pace etc. in sync with my horses, because it looks more fluid, and looks flat out sharp as well
- a slower stop so my horse has time too think and stops well
- Reminder* 3 second set up is necessary ! work on this and get it down
Round pen
- Train Zippy too turn when her face towards me, not her but! respect!
Ground work
- Work on flexing exercising, getting those back legs too cross over and that leg too "flex/bend" the more flexible she is the better she will perform all around!
In the saddle
- Remember too put broom through stirrups so they fit better
- ( no matter how painful) Toes in almost pigeon feeling and legs glued too horse
- But in saddle of seat so that it puts the rest of my body in the proper position sit on my " pockets"
- work on spur stop! make sure that i'm using leg and when she gives, release. I know this is going too take some time but one she gets there it will be worth it! :D
