I would tell you that the next two weeks are going to fly by, but they might not.

I will work at getting over my jealousy!! :-)<br /><br />Wilsonc - I hope it comes back to me! I am actually nervous about getting back on.<br /><br />GHM - You are right; you do what you have to do and having Jean ride Gem is good for him.<br /><br />Kate - No worries! I know exactly what you are describing. Thanks for the tip on the strike-off foot!<br /><br />Stephanie - Yes, I absolutely want to be the one working him! :-)Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-8143429395959654042010-05-28T21:12:27.642-04:002010-05-28T21:12:27.642-04:00Hoping the next 2 weeks goes by quickly for you!

Leg yield him towards the rail, maintaining the bend and then ask for the lope/canter as you reach the rail. It's also helpful if the cue is given while the strike-off foot (right hind in left lead, left hind in right lead) is just leaving the ground so when it comes down it starts the lope/canter - the mechanics of doing this are too hard to explain in a comment, sorry! Hope the time flies by until you're able to ride again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-60457715785297711032010-05-28T18:35:55.832-04:002010-05-28T18:35:55.832-04:00Two weeks will fly by in no time at all.

I can relate to the jealousy thing, we had to use my horse Erik once in a while in lessons when we had a small business and I really didn't appreciate it and neither did he I think. Oh well, you do what you have to and get over it right?Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-68943520223825684462010-05-28T17:31:50.328-04:002010-05-28T17:31:50.328-04:00It does all come back to you!
