Today was hot, hot , hot!! As I guessed, we worked on the Question Box again, but what i didn’t anticipate was me riding Falah in his saddle and a bridle. We’ve been using a hackamore for since as long as I’ve been riding him, so the bridle was something new. He took the bit right out of my hand when I first put it on with no complaint.
We did walk, trot and canter transitions all in the box as well as extended trot, “western” trot, and extended and slow canters. I have to work on my leg position!! No more sitting like I’m in a chair I’ve decided! If only it was that easy, but I’m sure with some practice I’ll get it!
At the end of the lesson, despite the heat (both Falah and I were soaked!) I was happy with our work and can’t wait to work on our transitions by myself.
Here’s a video as promised, it might take a while to load because of the length. And if you’re in a rush, the canter transitions and better trots are towards the end
