My friend came over tonight and gave me a lesson kind of thing, so my first proper schooling session where she was actually working nicely.
Anyway just got her using her back end a bit more and relaxing in walk, and sorted out her canter as she was leaning to the left.
Obviously she hasn't got much neck muscle and this is our first proper schooling where we actually had someone on the ground helping me and telling me what to do! It has helped a lot.

You can see where she is resisting in some parts and then when shes relaxing!:)

No critique thanks

not critique at all she looks to be working ok and getting more relaxed.

a tip though that i have recently discovered is slow everything down massively, like really really exaggerated and they use their back much more effectively, because when they are rushing it is an evasion tactic (well for my girl it is) and they tend to go hollow or giraffe-like so you dont get anywhere.

once they work well going slow then you can speed it up again ;)
