Cantering Raven

December 2009. Practice for my lesson via skype haha, since I cannot afford a real lesson right now.

Since then we've worked on creating a more uphill canter, mostly by changing my position. I got rid of my "eventer" shoulders; its a hip motion now. I try now to find that pause with my hips on the upswing to create more suspension. My arms are less rigid, and I try very hard to keep those heels down! haha "try" is the optimal word. Well enjoy, he's a lovely horse and is teaching me a lot.

Music: Fade to Black, Apocalyptica

Wow, great job! You sit up so nice and tall in the canter - something I am having trouble with! Raven is absolutely gorgeous! xoxo
