I had two lessons this week! That is the most I have EVER taken in one week. I wish I could afford it all the time.
Skate was a good boy...even though they were all stuck inside due to the crappy weather. I had worked hard on getting him to promptly move off my leg so this lesson was much more productive. We actually got him to start moving on two tracks. When I first starting asking, you could tell he was NOT getting it. We both just ended up getting tense. My instructor hopped on and 'showed him the way' so when I got back on I didn't have to ask so strongly. We ended that with some excellent stretchy trotting - which is major for Skate. When we first starting his stretching consisted of stretching his nose to the sky!
Anyway, my instructor said we're back on track, thank goodness. And, she gave me "Straightening the Crooked Horse" to read.
