...........at last I feel like I'm getting somewhere :)
I thought I'd share this in case anyone else is feeling like I was .........wanting to give up that is! :mad:
I have been working hard for ages now to get my horse going forward in a soft ,willing way and we
have had loads of issues, most of them I've felt caused by my riding! :rolleyes:
But last night I had a lesson with my RI and it all seemed to slot into place :)
I could see where my horse was falling out her shoulder and therefore wasnt straight and I knew how it correct it, and it worked!!!! :D
I could anticipate when she was going to fall in and stopped it from happening.
I managed to get just the right amount of contact in my outside rein and just the right amount of play on my inside rein. :D
And there she was soft, round and going forward ................. heaven! :D:D:D
So for those of you who think it will never happen dont give up - it will. :)
