The "snowquester" is moving into the DC/NoVA area tonight- just as I was getting somewhere in getting my horse soft and carrying herself at the canter. <br /><br />I'm going to join the Canter Bootcamp too!

"Huey" got to do some canter, which he likes (and I've warmed him up with "walk on the buckle for 10 minutes, then canter" often enough that he gets bothered if we don't canter "in order"), and I worked on precision of TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-26863577267647175722013-03-04T18:09:36.471-05:002013-03-04T18:09:36.471-05:00Another move?

Eragon has a huge stride and almost overtracks at the canter (hind leg goes past the girth! FEI level trainer commented she'd hardly ever seen a horse do that!) but he has trouble staying "up" on his long legs, and tends to get really big and long. He also switches his leads (cleanly) if you get crooked in the saddle, soMcFawnhttp://thistimedressage.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-92201416389843977722013-03-04T17:06:01.359-05:002013-03-04T17:06:01.359-05:00Gatsby the horse i ride and me are in the process ...Gatsby the horse i ride and me are in the process of having a canter boot camp at the moment!

I expect a ...Are you getting canter boot camp, too?<br />I expect a horse to have a better, lighter, more uphill canter with a pro - that's why they're someone you're willing to pay money to, and if they don't make the horse go better than you can, why would you pay them to ride? :) I also believe that horses don't have goals and motivation to move up the levels and we don't "Nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817230186352688525noreply@blogger.com
