Thursday played with BA and Try on lengthening and shortening strides at trot and canter between two poles. Competition between Keystone, Try and Devon. LOL. Try, of course, was the champion at shortening at both gaits and by a mile at canter as she cantered in place--too funny to me to watch tho Try wasn't enthused! Lengthening at a trot she was behind both Key and Devon as might be expected tho not by much. Canter she was only 1/2 a stride behind Devon with a big skippy, counter canter.
Friday lesson with Kathy:
1. worked on HQ off the circle w/FQ maintaining on the circle--HQ outside and inside the circle in both directions. Then repeat w/FQ which was much easier. For HQ: bend in the direction, leg pushes HQ and opposite rein keeps FQ on the circle.
2. Canter tracking right: goal to relax and sit this more to help Try get conditioned to relax with it and use HQ, lessen the pounding that isn't good for my lower back.
Weekend:
Studying and recombining Dan notes from last two years.
