I ...Yay! Training 3 is an odd test, isn't it?<br /><br />I think the trouble going left in the leg yield makes sense to me. She has to bend (even though leg yields have very minimal bend) around your left leg, and cross under with her left hind, which is probably hard since she struggles to bend left as it is. All a combination of the hind leg weakness-opposite outside ribcage tension that Murray and I have the opposite direction!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-64572137800234465992016-01-05T10:24:30.763-08:002016-01-05T10:24:30.763-08:00thanks! i hope so!!! thanks! i hope so!!! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-19292637590780884402016-01-05T10:24:20.594-08:002016-01-05T10:24:20.594-08:00ha yup, she's got a lovely trot and it's s...ha yup, she's got a lovely trot and it's so fun to ride!! she's generally a pretty big mover for her size, even if her canter stride still isn't quite 12'emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-42167427606463241602016-01-05T10:23:36.433-08:002016-01-05T10:23:36.433-08:00thanks! and since we are eventers it actually *IS*...thanks! and since we are eventers it actually *IS* a part of showing for us ;)emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-86140840874096796082016-01-05T09:56:20.824-08:002016-01-05T09:56:20.824-08:00For having been out of work for both of you, I thi...For having been out of work for both of you, I think you are looking great!
