Hahaha you summed it up quite well and now to have the patience to wait until I can consistently ride in a way that will harness all that good canter transition karma! ;-) THAT is what is killing me about winter arriving so soon lolClover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-42909043638965341382018-11-23T22:44:25.836-05:002018-11-23T22:44:25.836-05:00Ugggg canter baggage sucks!

Does June buck during the canter or just if you insist during the transition a la Ellie?Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-84528648175694828692018-11-22T09:11:49.123-05:002018-11-22T09:11:49.123-05:00What a cool lesson!!

I kinda love it when we are doing one thing and the horse somehow for some reason effortlessly volunteers something else that has been a big deal when I actually ask for it. It’s always really eye opening to try to figure out why, and how to harness that good feeling but actually intentionally lolemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-13707941828088595892018-11-22T00:16:34.196-05:002018-11-22T00:16:34.196-05:00Super interesting!

So, for different reasons than you, I now have canter baggage too!nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290914277204973015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-72993536853334624062018-11-21T16:00:53.595-05:002018-11-21T16:00:53.595-05:00I would have to agree 100% percent!

I am going with the idea that she is smart enough to remember everything in her down time. And ohhhhh my lord, that is totally Ellie's attitude hahahahaha. You have her pegged! She definitely has her own mind and is not pleased when I call her out on that haha. At least the bucking has stopped (for now haha) and she has agreed to work with me. :-DClover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-38487809912898418502018-11-21T13:21:06.746-05:002018-11-21T13:21:06.746-05:00I am glad I am not alone haha!

A little time off is never a bad thing, but I feel so motivated! Oh well. Patience is hard haha. I don't know that we will start the year at First, but definitely will be doing Training level, give T3 a few tries and then see about how First 1 might go! I am excited!<br /><br />Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-26052939367109210132018-11-21T13:20:54.865-05:002018-11-21T13:20:54.865-05:00Though lessons may be over with, that was definite...Though lessons may be over with, that was definitely a good last one to have!

All the same, it sounds like a really good lesson with lots of super promising things right ahead! Her bucking made me giggle. It's like she's saying, "I'm on my own time and I'll transition when I - OW. Woman! WHY? Kicking? Oof! FINE.

I went through pony club on a standardbred and the canter was the hardest thing to get out of him. <br /><br />And now it's all come back to haunt me with Gwyn too. Plus I have this fear that she just doesn't have a quiet canter cue. <br /><br />Hence the lessons for both of us. But boy does that resonate with me.Amy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177528984549810273noreply@blogger.com
