Hi Everyone

i haven't posted for a while. My riding is going pretty well. I have been riding in the out door arena.(60x40) My diaganals are really good now. I have been doing 20m circles. they are pretty good my RI told me one side needs could be a little better but good enough for a test. :D Now to the confusing part. my sitting trott is not so good anymore. it was pretty good. I had some physio on my back and ancles to help some old injuries from dirt bike riding days. since then my sitting trott has gorne backwards. Does anyone know why this might be happerning? I am stumpped. :D

sorry for it being so long!

i dont no why its changed, maybe because yu havent done it for awhile?? i dont know though, but to fix it when yur doing sitting trot shove yur heels down as far as they can go and imagine sticking yur belly button out, thats what i do, and it doesnt actually look wierd even though it kinds feels like it. and try and shove yur butt into the saddle as much as yu can, a fun game to play to practice this is called Ride a Buck. yu take a piece of paper about the size of a one dollar bill (american) and sit on it, as soon as it falls out the games over, but it might be more fun to play that with a group of people... try it some time!
