So, not sure if I posted in this forum or the training one. I'm getting my lease arab used to be ridden again after a 1.5 years off. (pasture ornament)
I've been riding with no interruption for three years on schooling horses. It was never the same horse and only one hour a week, so you can bet I've got some basics to get back to for sitting a trot smoothy. :eek:
The horse is pretty much back fully after only a few weeks but my trot is atrocious! I only let myself bounce a few times and realize it's not work, then go back to posting.
Think I need to lose the stirrups for a ride or two and go back to square one, would you agree? It seems that I bounce, I tense, he stiffens his back and it just all goes to hell in a handbasket right there. hehehe
I'm so very happy with this horse. Even if he whipped a 20 pound plant box at me being playful. hehhee
