And despite our trainers being like "Just don't overthink it" and like... we just DO over-think it. Ut kinda happens on the regular when I ride, haha. I have to remind myself to do nothing sometimes and then magically Annie goes better. <br /><br />I'm glad you are enjoying your lessons. I love that picture of B and Sophie - B looks SOOO enthused.

I'm unsure if it really does vary by discipline, or I was lacking good instruction, but the way I am doing them now is a lot different (And really so interesting to me from a biomechanics perpective)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-91833922463219170412018-08-03T08:22:47.140-07:002018-08-03T08:22:47.140-07:00So fun!

I've only worked on changes with one horse and in that case it was the blind leading the blind because neither of us knew the movement so we would attempt it off and on for literal years and never made much progress. I need to find my own Audrey to practice on before Kachina gets to that point!AutonomousDressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326654414307652910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-11545431857686692332018-08-02T14:17:07.390-07:002018-08-02T14:17:07.390-07:00expressive changes always make me giggleexpressive changes always make me giggleL.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-60262459226544979722018-08-02T12:11:50.227-07:002018-08-02T12:11:50.227-07:00How cool!!
