Moving on to canter though. Also getting rid of the slow little mincy thing and finding a bigger trot.
Bigger trot means giving up some of the indirect rein and opening it up. Also of course insisting she move off my leg. And keeping my inside thigh on. Yikes! I still try to lean forward. Finding the balance between keeping my outside seat bone down, holding outside contact with rein, keeping inside thigh on. Too much to manage at once.
Canter was interesting. I tend to lose my outside rein, which doesn't work so well. To left I need to hold my inside rein up a little to help her shoulder stay up. To right the haunches lag if I lose my outside rein (duh).
Still very very cool.
