rode again

had to practice our circles at first, as Liz was lunging at one end (and it's a small arena so they weren't huge circles)..but i was pleased to have to do that, as it forced me to think about what i'm doing. sometimes i end up twisting myself instead of moving the inside seatbone on its own...

after liz had gone we went large and worked on trying to get her to soften. eventually i was doing walk/halt transitions and then moving into 20 metre circles again and she was starting to get there...

then everyone left and i had to get off. i suppose about 1/2 hour or thereabouts? not sure. freezing again...

An indoor is a blessing, even if it is small. And, it allows you to make progress! Sounds like a good ride. If you can stick to your plan, you're really going to get somewhere.
