On day 1 Lilo helped me with position. By day 2 I lowered my right stirrup 2 holes and my left 1 hole! Lilo seemed to be pretty happy with my position on day 2. I have never seen Hindrik so sweaty, he worked so hard! :) But he was very proud of himself and happy. I think that my work with Jane Savoie's course has laid a good foundation. It's really nice to have lessons every once in a while, especially with someone as awesome as Lilo (Lilo has her FEI "I" judges license!) to make sure we are on a good track though.
