as planned.
Molly was so good she even gave Piper a lead past a man in a white van putting on his fishing gear - Piper didn't want to know about that at all!
she also went through the ford (on piper's tail) but blotted her copybook slightly at a narrow gate. But that's par for her, she really doesn't like them and it was a difficult access.
and i think i've worked out what I've been doing wrong position wise - apart from the weight to the wrong side - the knees have been pressing in.
if I keep weight on the thighs with knees out, it's all a lot better.
thinking about what is actually happening certainly helps, but of course i can only do it when Molly's behaving.
finished up with some nice trot again, back on the track on my own.
and another bargain off ebay - a 4 1/2" myler combination for £44 inc. postage (that's very good).

I love eBay. All three of my current bridles came off eBay at WAY less than the shop price. But I'd only buy leatherwork with a brand name. In particular there is a guy called Whatack selling imported Gallop bridles as English so steer clear of him everyone.
Well done Molly - like fishing gear then do you :-))

Good for Molly being leader!! Wowser!
Pinching with your knees surely can be a problem. Getting the thigh long will help a lot, you'll see.
And yes, when the horse is naughty, thinking about correcting your position flaws is usually the last thing on your mind. However, over time, the more you sit correctly, the more natural that will become and the less likely you will "lose" it when Molly isn't perfect. Then, you will be able to improve her much more easily.
eBay...avoid like plague...unless....I want to spend money!!! *G*
