Saturday 7th January

Today there was a level 3 course and I got to join in with Blossom - this morning was all about lateral moves. We started on line and played with shoulder in on the circle and shoulder in against the wall, Blossom was really good and worked out very quickly what I was asking her to do. So the morning was really spent playing with this.

The afternoon we played with what we learnt this morning and then we saddled and played with shoulder in while riding. To start with I had a few problems getting Blossom to do shoulder in while I was riding, so Eddy came and helped me and the main problem was I wasn’t putting enough pressure on her to cause her to move. So that was quite interesting as I am now finding I am having to use a lot more pressure on Blossom than I ever have done, I am still far to soft on her a lot of the time.

I haven’t really wrote much about today as I think I am still processing a lot of the things we learned today as most of it was new to me.
