Usually Sevi's trainer rides her on Thursdays and Fridays, but these past two days she has been pretty sick. :( So, she had me ride Sevi instead and she gave me a private each day. And she pushed us both more then usual too, whcih was great!
So yesterday, I was able to get Sevi working on the bit really well, and get her lifting more in canter. She has a flat canter, which my trainer has been working on and now she lifts and uses her back more. Usually, I have a harder time with this, but it all clicked yesterday. And her trot work was awesome! I was thrilled and grinning the whole time. :D
Today, we got off to a bit of a rough start but then worked it out. We did some nice shoulder-in work and simple changes. I hadn't done changes on her ever, even though she has started on her flying changes with her trainer, and it was so much fun!
Anyway, I felt that some real progress has been made over just this past week, where for the last several months we've been in a holding pattern...not getting worse, but not getting better either. Now I can't wait for my normal lesson tomorrow!
