It looks to me like Izzy is bracing left with her neck and shoulders when tracking right, which suggests to me that her left side is stiff and doesn't want to open up. (I could be TOTALLY off base on this.) So doing leg yields right to left (tracking right) and some shoulder-in on the same track may help her stretch out that left side and bend properly at the canter.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-83018665634673293302015-01-27T09:41:39.326-08:002015-01-27T09:41:39.326-08:00Glad you had a good lesson - it sounds like it was...Glad you had a good lesson - it sounds like it was nice to have the arena all to yourselves (kind of)!! <br /><br />And yep, that's borium on the shoes - pretty common in the Winter time.Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652933884652697666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-25920230448832094202015-01-27T09:15:34.917-08:002015-01-27T09:15:34.917-08:00ALSO... some of us bloggers are getting together f...ALSO... some of us bloggers are getting together for dinner on Saturday night in King of Prussia, PA...
