wind....

and i did wonder whether i'd be able to ride, but it wasn't too strong - one of those winds that sounds bad when you're inside, but isn't quite as bad as it sounds once you're outside..

and i had some company in the arena, so it was useful to work round them - guinness the gelding, working well.

we were trying hard and had some good moments.

i've decided that the hole shorter stirrup is the way to go .... leg stabilised much better ....

reckon i need to so some work without stirrups!

Oh yes, work without stirrups.

Are you feeling masochistic?

Work without stirrups is always good, but don't compromise Molly's training if you do. Right now, her learning to be stable in the "new" frame as a priority. Then, when she is comfy, you will find your working on your seat will be much easier and more productive.
