if i can get the trot right she starts to come right; the difficulty is getting it right after the initial rush off.
but i really felt we were making some progres again tonight. if i can be consistent in getting it right which slows her down then we'll get to the point where we can have that from first picking up trot!
should have taken my saddle with me yesterday, definitely; took a while to decide what stirrup lengthy i wanted. and i think i shoudl have got some large knee rolls, not small ones (what did i know, never used them before...)
longer of course put me deeper and the walk was consequentially better, but that was too long at the moment for trot ....
and rein length is interesting. a difficult balance given her previous bitting issues between short enough to be right and yet not too short and end up with an argument about it ...
think we're getting there on that one as well.

So many things to think about. And people think riding is easy--in all the TV ads they just get on and gallop off! *G*
What kind of bit do you use? My horses go best in the snaffle with the losenge--the KK bit.
I know you've worked hard finding the right combination of tack for Molly. It too is a tricky business. Can the knee rolls be easily changed? Might be good to try the fatter ones if you can.
