45 minutes

on molly for that length of time, happily there were people about which was good.

it's been a really nice day here, almost spring (well, you'd have thought...) and the evening was just as good.

we did some trot and a lot of walk. i concluded i needed the leathers down one again....

i was thinking about my position again, but also about getting molly responsive to me, which meant i had to think about where my weight was. at one point we almost got a lateral move .... i've never been totally sure she understands them .... and a fair few small circles as well.

overall i was quite pleased....

interestingly, after i got off i thought i'd run the stirrups up .. guess what, no i can't go round to her right side to do that whilst we're in the arena.... duh.
