Exercise: Piaffe -- very challenging today. Weird.
Exercise: Trot Squares: Sit up. Lead with inside rein, really ask. Put inside leg on to catch her. Don't let the haunches fall right.
Exercise: Canter Squares: Challenging, but better. I have to sit back, lead with my inside rein. Really ask. Keep legs on, esp. inside leg. Prepare -- very collected canter going into the corner.
Exercise: changing lead through walk on a straight line: Also challenging, but entirely rider-error. I had a terrible time moving my left hip forward for the left lead. I couldn't even move her haunches over to the left because I couldn't get off that seat bone. Yeesh. Right lead is a piece of cake.
Exercise: Shoulder in fan down center line. Absolutely impossible today. Her hindquarters were all over the place. Trying to move the shoulders around them was ..... well never happened even in the walk. I think we fried her brain on the earlier exercises.
Around the loop on Pico looking for the elusive nice trot. Not a lot of work, but at least I sat on him.
