I keep hoping that we will be able to move outside for lessons, but it looks like nature has other plans...hopefully soon though! Alberta weather is such a tease.
Meanwhile I am being tortured by a Robin that is attacking our house from 5:25am until nightfall. Thunk thunk thunk. This is the reason for the garbage bag décor in front of the house. Sadly it just finds a different window. At least the cats are entertained as indicated for the window screens pulled off the windows, however I am sleep deprived. Robin stew anyone?
For lessons this week we are going to do some work on leg position both on the flat and over fences. We want the heals stretched down, with the heel below the hip. The inside of the entire leg should drape along the horse's side. The leg should be secure regardless of what your body is doing.
We will do bounces and one strides to help work on this, and some of you may find your stirrups tied to the girth to help you feel where your leg should be. We may also play with stirrup length as I think some riders might be helped by a shorter stirrup over fences.
