Had a great ride on Gracie yesterday! That half-pass and even haunches in that we absolutely could not do Sunday finally happened. If I use a strong (strong) indirect rein on the left suddenly the bend appear, the haunches move left, and we finally have a rhythmic, solid, left half-pass. Yay! She even has some steps that really are moving up and over and begining to feel a little floaty. Of course right after two or three of those either Gracie or I immediately fall over.
I think my biggest issue was that I was trying too hard to shift my weight inside and as a result I was leaning forward and completely losing my outside seat bone. I do better if I try to sit up straighter and keep weight on that seatbone, no collapsing to the inside.
Wow!
We still had it when I rode today, but tomorrow I am off to Glenwood for two days... hope it doesn't disappear!
