she's "getting it"

Lunged tonight - had vaguely thought about riding, but it was late, and i suddenly felt very hungry, so lunged instead.

Molly is most definitely starting to grasp the concept of contact, working into it, etc, and she looked great! fantastic in trot.

so part of tomorrow's lesson will be lunge work for her, to establish that a bit more and work on canter on the lunge, which is rushed.

Isn't it great when they get it at last? Suddenly it all seems to simple.

The canter will need to be balanced before she can slow down. Here's hoping your trainer has some ideas to help you help her learn. But don't expect it to happen overnight. It will take some time and patience before she learns how to carry herself better in canter.

brill that she's getting there, especially as she's having no turnout with her leg problems...onwards and upwards definitely.
