I would love some suppleness - for me, let alone my horse! Its great that you have someone to keep Gem going and I'm sure he'll be a different horse when you're ready to take the reins again.Jooleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887670079044569513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-32719717129092156592010-05-17T11:41:05.199-04:002010-05-17T11:41:05.199-04:00Hi Shannon - Thank you! Geez, Coach-in-Training....Hi Shannon - Thank you! Geez, Coach-in-Training....I like! :-)<br /><br />Hi HoC - LA is currently training a bunch of other horses in addition to running the stables, so fitting more time on Gem would be pushing it. I was grateful with she agreed to once a week. Her schedule may slow down a bit in the Fall. <br /><br />Rather than be frustrated that I can't ride while I am recovering, I am focusing on the fact that Gem will have 6 or 7 sessions with LA under his belt by the time I get back in the saddle. :-)Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-72632827900026934272010-05-17T03:10:19.785-04:002010-05-17T03:10:19.785-04:00Oh yes, Tango baby!

Why not treat yourself to an exciting present, and add some more days/week? <br /><br />And good luck with your recovery! Too bad to be out of the saddle for so long...HorseOfCoursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907659164579327290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-72017131354080882882010-05-16T21:21:49.619-04:002010-05-16T21:21:49.619-04:00You're thinking like a true horsewoman! You...You're thinking like a true horsewoman! You've started to think about your horse's needs and what you need to do to help him improve. That will do so much to help your riding! <br /><br />I say it's time to change your self perception. You aren't a "beginner" rider anymore, now you are a "coach-in-training."smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-91774853663522220252010-05-15T12:26:18.830-04:002010-05-15T12:26:18.830-04:00Good morning ladies!

I have come to understand just how important ground work and lateral movements are. Patience, patience patience.....must remind myself of that! :-)Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766983761847636077.post-15156153143924044852010-05-14T21:27:28.416-04:002010-05-14T21:27:28.416-04:00I know how you feel.

She actually gave me a decent balanced canter to the right last week, not so much to the left though.Still working on these exercises, sometimes we just walk over cavaletti's, sometimes trot. It takes a lot of patience but I've got plenty of time to get it right before moving on.

You've now discovered the same thing with Gem! Our boys have lots in common, it seems to me, since Dar will also be spending the summer learning to "be supple and balanced and building muscle." You will feel the difference as Gem learns to carry himself, and just the sense of it will make you a stronger rider. Way to go on having a good plan.Muddy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937615888562277779noreply@blogger.com
