And ...Straightness is so much harder at the walk. <br /><br />And good circles... as in actually round, are deceptively hard. Scratch an accurate 20m circle in freshly dragged arena surface. (One person stands in the center holding a lunge line and the other walks out the circle keeping even tension on the rope.) Then try to stay on the circle with your horse. And try not to look down the whole time. Dressage as masochism lol, but it's a great exercise. <br /><br />We'll be doing a lot of walk work until it rains again and firms up our arena. :)Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-9949124359108318502012-06-10T03:20:35.751-07:002012-06-10T03:20:35.751-07:00Glad you have found a way to let this time be prod...Glad you have found a way to let this time be productive both for you and Sug.
