The past week I had another jump lesson and have been working hard at riding inside leg to out side shoulder and pushing Deuce into the bridle with my seat and legs and its been going great! I am starting to feel him move more consistently and easily off my leg. Yay progress!
At our Jump lesson, last Wednesday, it was more practice on the diagonal jumps, turns and straightness It went rather well. Again practicing the counter bending and now keeping my knuckles together as I approach so I can feel if he is drifting and correct it quicker.. I also came to the realization it is time to put my stirrups up at least one hole. I could go up maybe 2, but I am going to go gradual. I also decided it is really time to commit to lots of two point to strengthen those lower legs. So in warm up trotting and cantering in 2 point and cooling out walk in two point. I can feel a difference already!
