[RC] diagonals - sandy . l . holderLast year before Tevis I took a final series of dressage lessons from an exceptional instructor (www.sonsofthewindfarm.com - he comes to the west coast quarterly). He asked me what I wanted to work on and I said I wanted to work on balance. He promptly took away my stirrups. . . and then took away my reins (he said I was trying to hold on with the reins). . . and then he took away the lunge line that was attached to my horse!!!!! Posting without stirrups was really hard but after 4 days of work, I was cantering in a 30 meter circle (the width of the arena) with NOTHING! Balance, balance, balance. If you ever think a horse is one sided or not, make sure YOU'RE not! . . .of course Tevis was a breeze after all THAT work! Sandy p.s. I'll be practicing this A LOT on my greenie while my lover boy Tally is 'resting up'. _________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
