Koda’s been really progressing well in her training and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s doing with her mama! Sadly, Jessica is moving soon so we only have them for a short while longer but I am so proud of how far both horse and rider have come while being here with me. I’m excited to see them continue to grow, even if it’s from states away!

The pivot has been by far the hardest maneuver for Jacob, who struggles with any type of crossing of his legs. He has gotten much better in his leg yields and his turn on the forehand but still gets extremely frustrated and upset with pivots. At the lower levels of Western Dressage, you have the option to ride either a turn on the haunches in the more classical sense or a pivot. I have opted to work on the turn on the haunches, as he understands this concept a little better. It has been a slow and difficult process, but we are making progress for sure. This weekend we will be showing this maneuver for the first time. Although I don’t expect to score well, my hope is to do them with the start of correctness and without anxiety from Jacob. Here is a little snippet of our work. His first direction is better and we school the second direction a little longer until we get some correct steps.

When you ride in the freshly dragged arena, you can analyze your movements. So cool to see the difference in reach between CB’s working trot (picture 1) and his medium trot (picture 2). And see the angle of his shoulder in, on the three tracks (picture 3).
