Playing fast and loose with that one!<br /><br />The 4 beat irritates me too, but I totally get why he's doing it, and why I have to let it be right now. It'll come around in it's own time. I just want that time to be now!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-89255551403375732582016-12-20T10:15:19.784-05:002016-12-20T10:15:19.784-05:00I swear, there are days where I wonder how both Pe...I swear, there are days where I wonder how both Penn and I manage to put one foot in front of another.

It eventually always comes around, but it bugs the hell out of me when it falls apart like that!

I watched the video and was like, umm, at least he didn't get his head down because I would have fallen off haha. She's brought a ton of horses through these levels and beyond, so I'm very grateful for the "These wheels will most likely fall off and that's ok, keep plugging away and you'll find them again." It's why I really wanted her lessons to bookend a gap of time so I could see it through without other input. I'm excited to see my regular trainer soon though!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-18610551620030883732016-12-19T11:32:27.919-05:002016-12-19T11:32:27.919-05:00Without mirrors or weekly video, I only have my fe...Without mirrors or weekly video, I only have my feel and gut to go on, so I'm really happy we stayed on track. I told her about the video from Dec 3, and he just looked so different that I knew he felt good, but some things didn't look quite right in the video, and I was second guessing everything at that point. My SoloShot3 should be here in March, so then I'll have lots of video to check myself with!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-65098903896533430572016-12-19T11:29:56.122-05:002016-12-19T11:29:56.122-05:00Thanks!
