have to confess to not doing any flexions before I got on, and didn't bother with the performance of trying to get on unaided, just had person hold her head.
i decided singing to myself whilst trotting would be good relaxation for both of us before i started to do any serious work, so i did that, and it was a good idea. i wasn't put on wrong diagonal and it was a nice forward trot.
After that, back to working on walk/softness and we were hugely better than last time i was on her. even once other horse was in arena being lunged, she jigged a bit and then we worked round them and i got some nice walk. I'm finding it easier to "get it" and to keep my bum/thighs in the right place.
then afterwards the new livery owner asked me to show her the rope circling work she'd seen me do Tuesday ... so i did, her horse in the round pen. and since she'd never worked in a round pen, i showed her how that works as well. Will lend her Max's dvd.....
didn't do too much, as he'd already been lunged, but he (the horse) was getting it (which pleased me!) and his owner could see what it was about...
tomorrow (don't tell partner) local(ish) agent is coming with a vogue to see how that suits Miss Molly...

Won't tell partner....*G*
Good work, it seems, and nice for you to be able to pass on some of your skills to someone else. It will end up helping both of you as teaching something brings a keener insight to the teacher as well.
