Rode Deuce today and had a lot of fun. Canter departs are a peice of cake, so I worked on lengthening/shortening strides in the trot and canter. By the end I felt like Deuce's canter was floating. I feel like this is the first time I've really felt him reach under and step into the contact at the canter. It was a really good feeling!
Did a little shoulder in. I guess the seat aid in the should in is to put more weight on the outside seatbone? Still confused but I do know that Deuce will naturally move towards the heavier weighted seat bone to get back in balance.
Did some trot/halts today and made sure they were from the seat. He did okay at them but not at first. I need to do these first thing before he gets tired. Will hopefully get a little jumping in tommorow. Just for fun. :)
