Let me explain better, although I doubt I really have to. I want to incorporate more video into Of Horses and Humans, and video is far more entertaining than my writing, I'm certain. But unfortunately, I don't really have anyone to video my rides, and sticking the video camera up doesn't do it for me any more.
Riding Nikita's trot is now much easier, and I can ride it without feeling out of breath or any such issue that was happening before. The difference is just that I took my knees off and used a super deep seat. It feels sometimes super bouncy, and like my legs are banging, although they're not. It's just how the loft in her gaits feel.
We got 4 tempis very good yesterday. For about 2 minutes I had a blonde moment and struggled with the counting - what can I say, sometimes my hair color just takes over and I had a "whoops" moment.
Note: to do an expressive single flying change, push the canter out the last 3 strides before the change.
Nic is doing much better. Only 1 out of every 10 strides is funny, instead of the opposite. She sees Steffan the masseuse guy on Saturday, and I hear he will set that rogue muscle right, and maybe I can get back to riding my mare. She's mentally ready to work, that's for sure. The look on her face when I lunge her says it all.
