Lesson

I had such a great lesson today! Tracy, my trainer is AWESOME! Today we worked on walk-trot and trot-walk transitions and bending. She told me to think of Bourbon like a tube of toothpaste. When I want him to do a downward transition, I should tighten my back and ab muscles and squeeze the toothpaste towards his hind end. It made so much sense the way she explained it and Bourbon picked up on what I was asking very quickly.

She also told me that I should not keep my leg on him at all times because it will make him dull to my leg aides.

All in all it was a great lesson and I am really happy with her as my trainer. :)
