It is lovely here. The paddocks are mud, the driveway by the house is ice, and the snow is sliding/melting off the roof in loud kerchunks. Make sure you leave enough time to brush your ponies for lessons!
This week in lessons we will continue with the bondage, but this time focusing on the upper body to raise awareness of how much or how little you are moving your elbows away from your side. We will be using tensor bandages and not binder twine in case you are worrying... :)
Flat work will focus on some leg yielding to direct the horse from one pole to a slightly offset pole, with the tensor there to make sure you aren't trying to use your hands to do your legs job! Some riders may also have to carry a stick between their hands to maintain proper hand spacing and stability.
For jumping, our course will again have a bending S, only in reverse from last week. Sorry Steph.
