Anyone else have to school on a slope? its so annoying!

[TEmily]

Just a rant really. I'm trying so hard to work on my canter but there isn't a single flat bit of field on the yard so we end up speeding up down the hill, motorbiking round the bottom then nearly running out of steam at the top. I find myself either trying in vain to slow down and ending up pulling, or leaning forward in an attempt to speed up!

Oh for a flat surface!

:mad::mad::mad:

as someone who comes from the pennines i feel your pain :)

moved now, but flat land was hard to come by!

on the upside you'll be fab at riding hills, lol

No, not annoying, good for building balance and muscle!!! :D

I know exactly what you mean-my 'schooling area' -loose term that! is uneven and lumpy and sloped but it's the most level part of the field! I dream of a flat arena to school in properly-can do the balancing and muscle building when I'm out hacking!

Annoying as the ground is rock hard and slippery:mad:

Hear, hear, ground so hard and lumpy and my mare keeps tripping so have given up for the moment.
