This week in lessons we will be continuing to develop the sitting trot, and will continue to use it to aid in smoother transitions. Advanced riders will also work on doing leg yielding in the sitting trot. This requires being aware of which hind leg is moving when, so you can better time your leg aids to be effective. Remember your leg can only effectively engange or move a leg when that leg is about to come off the ground.
Jumping riders will continue to work on counting to the jumps, and we will increase the difficulty by adding arcs and trickier turns.
Remember that there are no lessons this weekend as we are hosting the Team clinic. The schedule for the clinic will be posted in the barn. The arena will be open for riding after 5:30 pm on Saturday, and after 4:30 pm on Sunday.
For those attending, the clinic starts at 9:30 sharp on Saturday, and 8:30 sharp on Sunday for all participants. Please bring a towel...I assume for sitting on.
