Power was out at the farm for over 2 hours. BRRR..derailed my ambition to be productive this afternoon so took a nap with the cats.

Lessons this week;

As promised, there will be some tying of stirrups to girths to help remind riders where their leg should be, and to let you feel when it leaves that zone. This also makes riders use their leg properly, and then use a crop if needed rather than bring heels up or get kicky.

I am also working on some exercises to work on getting riders to use their eyes better. Main issue is with people wanting to look down when thinking. It really helps if you can look where you are going through a tricky transition or over a jump!

As I am going to try to work on a sales video for Gody, I will have some fancier than usual jumps set too; a line that looks like real hunter jumps with fill, some jumper stuff...it will be great!
