Leg yeilding with Boo

Well on Monday I rode Boo. I love riding her! I rode Joey last week. I forgot to publish that one. Joey is good, we worked on corners and turning and such. I know it sounds boring but it was a really good lesson. Joey really will take you through the corners to where she thinks you should go, so it was quite a bit of work to get her to listen on my cue to turn. We made progress at the end of the lesson though. We did some canter work too, and it felt a lot better. I felt more together with her, it was great. Its great to be feeling progress.

Well when I rode Boo we worked on her listening to my leg aids better instead of just going faster when she feels my leg. Thats the problem with her, you ask her to move over and she goes faster. Its sorta annoying, but she is doing good. So we did some leg yeilds down the wall so that she had to listen to my leg. It was great. I was really getting it at the end. Before when I was doing leg yeilding work I didn't really understand exactly what you were supposed to be doing with your body and legs. I think I am really starting to get it. We also worked on bending and counter bending circles and lines to get her more flexible as well as more willing to listen to the aids. It was a great lesson. I will ride her again next week. Even though she is a novice horse, I feel as though I am learning SOOOO much on her! I'll post some pictures. I gotta go for now
