I've Been Out Of Blogging For A Couple... Hello!! I've Been Out Of Blogging For A Couple Months...Doing INSTAGRAM For A Quick Fix. <br /><br />You Look Marvelous. The Neat Gal That Commented Ahead If Me Really Captured Great Points. And I Couldn't Really Be Critical, Because My Least Lesson Was Months Ago. I Only Spotted One Thing And Thought Of Another For Relaxation For Niko. <br />Your Inside Hand Appears To Be Lifted Higher, Mostly Track Left.Out May Block Niko Or Create False Bend In Him. Try Releasing Your Inside Hand Periodically Forward, Among The Creast In A Fluid Motion And Back Again, To Contact. You Will Loosen Your Shoulders, And Niko Sould LeNgthen.<br /><br />And Also, Think Of The Middle Of Your CheSt Having A Head Light...Shine It Towards Your Destination, It'll Open Your Inside Shoulder, And Help You Not To Block Him.<br /><br />Loved The Wonder Full Shots!!! You Two Are A Great Team!<br />KacyKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-83684600477696385512013-08-08T01:10:37.608-07:002013-08-08T01:10:37.608-07:00Hi Edward!
You've got a really nice seat,look ...Hi Edward!<br />You've got a really nice seat,look at your shoulder/hip/heel alignment in the last photo - good!<br />As for tipping forward and dropping your head, try some visualisation. Imagine you ARE Carl Hester riding down the centre line at the Olympics. Think of how he sits and see yourself the same way. This has worked for some of my pupils in the past.<br />Working long n low - try to get Nico to stretch down into a contact and work when he's in that shape, marching forward, you should see the muscle in front of the withers working when he's doing it right. don't just drop the rein and let him stretch for a bit and then start popping his head up to look around again. Work on transitions halt/walk/trot and also transitions within the pace. This keeps the horse attentive & obedient will help with engagement as well<br />Watch your elbows - mostly they look nice and soft but perhaps they stick out sometimes? An easy habit to get into!<br />It's a long time since I did any teaching so someone else might have better tips & ideas for you!
