So I have stared Bi weekly private lessons with another coach at our stables. I was so lucky to be riding Bliss (my favorite horse EVER) in my private lessons. We are a good match I must say <3
We started with a very long rein, flexing and getting him round. It was great to have the arena to myself for an hour! After flexion at the walk we worked on flexion at the trot. He was a good boy and listened well. I had a couple of problems with pulling my elbows back but over all we had good understanding with the coach (who has coached me before :) ) We did some flexion at canter and then went over a warm up jump on the quarter line multiple times. Some of which involved me going into 2 point the whole way around the arena until we got to the jump and then staying steady while he jumped over. It really improved my 2 point I must say. We also worked on timing, and counting strides.
She set up a course of jumps, with fairly easy approaches and lines. There was only one jump I had trouble with and that was a jump set up across the diaganol where it was a very tight turn that I wasnt ready for the first time around the course, we got over it easy enough but the approach was less than pretty :(, the second time around the course was brilliant and we flew over it. I really want to buy a horse like Bliss when I can :)
I will update you on the following lessons, and private lessons excluding tomorrows. Thanks for reading! And please follow my blog and comment!
