Friday with Kathy and Try

Today we took our time to get Try to decide the good deal was actually the easy thing. She was resistant to both contact and quality of gait. I never asked for contact directly but we found it in the movement. Kathy kept giving me strategies to keep Try thinking and searching for a better answer. Including various HQ/FQ isolations and bending and even turns on the haunches and forehand. Canter we used smaller circle to reset--like a half halt in a way--maintain the smaller circle until the canter becomes better then make the circle a little larger. Then if need be to get smaller--outside leg and rein move Try in a bit while inside leg and rein prevents falling in.
