I love figuring out what's easy, and not so easy. Macy LOVED haunches in, but Georgie had to work at it. It's just interesting how different they all are.

I totally agree that it's also a super fun place to be. I'm sure she'll grasp all of these concepts much more firmly by the time spring arrives!

AND HEY that shit is hard :) Remus is 15 and has a horrible time with haunches in. And he cheats like no ones business at shoulder fore if he can.

I like riding into either of them from a 10 m circle and when/if we lose it go back to the circle. TeresaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311118900077951863noreply@blogger.com
