This week in lessons; for flat work and dressage work we are going to take a break from learning tests, and work a lot on transitions and having high expectations of our horses and their response time. If we cannot get our horse to respond in a timely manner, we are going to look at why by going back to basics. Some of the horses (and riders) have been getting lazy about transitions and expectations, and this muddles up the horse's training as they are no longer clear on what is expected of them. For some riders, this may even mean going back to ground work!
For jumping, we are going to again do some video, this time with the rider's stirrups tied to the girths as we didn't get around to that last week. it will then be interesting to compare week 1 and week 2 positions. More work on lead changes too, as some of the trickier horses are really coming around!
