As always in winter, not a lot has happen.
I had a dressage lesson with Heidi Scott. First time I have seen her method and style and I like what I see. She is not ARGHHH like some dressage coaches and can see what a horse needs and is gentle. I like gentle. We worked on yielding of the leg and such and over all I was very happy with the lesson. Heck even I got some great pointers for my positioning, with horses learning never stops and bad habit with position creep up.
Straight after the lesson it was the dash to cool Sammy down, wash, dry, pack up and load trailer. Followed by drive home, kick horse out, blanket, turn around and get to the biting clinic. I was only 15 minutes late! which in Equestrian time is either "on time" or "early".
With McDonalds in hand, still in my english riding clothes (I could feel the weird looks) it was in the hotel and straight to the back of the room. This clinic was great. Not only did I learn more about the anatomy of the horses mouth and head but, also about the real action of bits. I really enjoyed learning more. and wish it went for longer.
sadly we STILL have snow and STILL have deep snow. The few warm days help but a week of warmth would be amazing.
