I was really freaking productive today... it was sarcasm.
So with DL I was in the forest. Did nothing. Okey I was collecting her a little and yeah testing a bit. Well basically Sophia said she was a bit numb when it came to the leg past two days with her. I din't feel a single damn thing like that today. Anyhow didn't take my spurs so I could really see what the fuck was going on. Nothing. I pressed with the leg and horse moved forward, changed the gate or whatever the hell I wanted her to do. Weird. Plain damn weird. Only usefull training thing we did was keeping the canter tempo. So raised with the inner leg while keeping the contct from the fornt to prevent her falling on the forehand. Then pushed her canter to the tempo I wanted and when got it held the reins for a moment stopped leg pushing and just held it and only kept supporitve contact. She was top knoch perfect! I mean...wha tis there to train?!?!!
Athena honey was on the feald. Warmed her up and then took some fast laps. Well I didn't put on martingale or pelham for that matter so couple of times she just took off with me in full canter, lost her right front shoe...then took off some more and yeah. Nothing much I could too. Just give and take with the hand, lean a bit back and then freaking turn her to stop...Nothing else worked. Scary!!! Did a little in the riding arena too. She was so good. Followed my hand when I gave from the front nicely and loosend her back at the same time when pushed with the leg a bit. Had to keep her between the leg and rein and it was surprisingly easy. Tried to hold her a bit more on collection so made the hand more solid and pushed a little with outside leg for the tempo and held the inside one for a slight bend. And she didn't speed up but reached with the hind legs. I mean what the fuck was that??! She has never done that like this?!?! Weird...hope she stais like that though =) And then we did a long, long walk off in the woods. Nice!
