Sunday I had a wonderful lesson, worked on sitting trot without stirrups. My RI is trying to teach me to stop gripping so much with my upper leg. It's so hard not too, I'm always afraid without stirrups I'll loose control and fall off. Years ago I had no problem without stirrups, not the case now
. Later in the lesson we worked on my canter. Did a lot of cantering in the 2 point position. I did have to hold onto mane to stay out of the saddle. It was great fun, so exciting to feel the canter gait while being out of the saddle. She was also teaching me about half halts. Crazy, that in the past I was never taught half halts. Just glad that I'm learning so much now.
