Today Bonne Amie and Divilabit both had good training sessions with Emma Fisher.
Divilabit ( Snoopy) Worked well on the flat after settling into things in the indoor arena. Working on his shoulder movement to help improve his weakest gait of Medium trot. Plenty of lateral work began to help this. this session was then followed by lots of riding without stirrups!
I thankfully came prepared with a neck strap for his occasional joy full buck!
After lots of exercises with our legs both myself and the other riders began to ride with a longer leg and more relaxed through the knee and ankle.
This is something i have not done much of for a while so i expect to be a little sore in the morning!
After lunch we started on jumping exercises, Bonne Amie (Bobo) thought this was all very exciting at first and was amusing herself by leaping over the poles on the floor, soon these were made into crosses on a related distance this helped contain the excitement... a little, Although she was jumping very well.
We then put a few jumps together with lots of turns asking plenty of questions although not overly big they caused enough problems, Especially when sat on a "Little Rubber ball" as described by Emma. She overshot the turn at first but then soon began to concentrated, relax and this improved the rythm which made the exercise seem easy.
A very productive day, and was even better because of the lovely indoor arena which ment i was not getting wet and snowed on riding at home!!
