Sunday was a really horsey day. Me and Danielle Luinenberg exchanged lessons. Danielle is a combined academic art of riding and centered riding instructor. I gave her and her horse a groundwork lesson and Danielle was helping me with my seat. I got to step in the stirrups like if I was walking with my horse's hindlegs, i.e step in inner stirrup when inner hindleg steps forward and step in outer stirrup when outer hindleg steps forward.

Today I was practicing on my own and I was rellay exaggerating the stepping in the stirrup in order to get it into my system. When stepping in the stirrup I am asking for chest rotation, and with proper chest rotation you get bending and stelling. During the sunday lesson I found that I needed to really move my hips in order not to press with my outside upper leg, and today it was even more natural. Basically I was riding with my seat, just focusing on the stepping in the stirrups and the chest rotation. I hardly used the reins at all, and I got such a nice and stable bending, with a forward seeking horse. The minute Bröta was trying to slow down or to run away, I felt it and just asked her to come into my seat and my pace again. So amazing!

I was riding Mira just the same, focusing on stepping in the stirrups and getting chest rotation. I think it was one of the softest riding lessons we have had together. I will defiitely explore more about chest rotation and stepping inthe stirrups. When that is getting more natural I will add breathing. I got a breathing technique from Danielle on sunday, and now I work on it without a horse, but it is a bit to much to do both breathing and stirrup steps at the same time on the horse, at the moment.

I am in such a horse high! Really look forward to tomorrow's training!

Förra helgen var jag på weekend clinic hos Celina Harich. Jättekul! Det började med en hel del stress, Bröta for runt och var orolig men med Celinas hjälp blev hon lugn och vi kom till arbete. Hur gjorde vi då för att vända stress till lugnt arbete? ...
