It's hard, particularly as each horse is such an individual and every day can be so different in regards to what we bring to the table. I liked that I mentioned I felt like I had made things worse to EC and she totally encouraged me to speak up any time I feel like that has happened/is happening. I know some coaches that just keep pushing you and to be honest I wasn't sure if she might be one.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-78619601901388987462015-09-18T12:38:31.150-07:002015-09-18T12:38:31.150-07:00If left to my own devices that's about all I w...If left to my own devices that's about all I will do :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-91727734384573119052015-09-18T12:37:56.950-07:002015-09-18T12:37:56.950-07:00I beat myself up so badly for it and would like to...I beat myself up so badly for it and would like to think it's something I am normally very conscious of and a rare occurrence.

I would be focused on a goal and that was all I could see. <br /><br />I bet a trainer ride with help make things easier for you :) KateRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870548960430847612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-37671207844033048892015-09-17T21:32:31.997-07:002015-09-17T21:32:31.997-07:00Love a good fun ride!Love a good fun ride!Wilbur, Ellie, and Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620148609694352994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-52593007861416990522015-09-17T13:40:49.272-07:002015-09-17T13:40:49.272-07:00i *hate* the feeling of having pushed a smidgen to...i *hate* the feeling of having pushed a smidgen too far... ugh. bridget seems like a pretty forgiving pony, so hopefully she'll remember and maybe even better understand next time you ask. i think canter transitions are like that tho - we spend so much time being satisfied with their plain old existence that the wheels totally fall off when we go back to try and make them more 'correct.' ah well.... in the meantime a 'fun' ride sounds like a great plan! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.com
