Coming past our mandatory walk through the sunlight patch...
The was the worst BTV moment we had, there were very few pictures as BTV as this one was.
Around this time I started sitting the trot and was able to start producing better corners as a result. I have a lot of trouble with some things while posting (leg yielding specifically) so I did some sitting with Sophie. Which means I hunched my lower back a bit but it does seem to be better in some of the pictures.
Leg yielding...
Leg yielding again...using a lot more hand than needed...
Giving the inside rein while leg yielding. Something we worked on was giving both reins a little (not as much as pictured here) to give Sophie extra release as a reward. We already do a lot of giving the inside hand, but this is going to take a lot of muscle memory, because it's supposed to be quicker and a shorter release, I'm used to doing big releases.
Having just finished a leg yield I think...
I'm not sure why I have so many more pictures of us going to the left than the right, that may have been the time that Craig's kitten invited himself to the lesson and Craig stopped to visit.
