I've been trying to get this right on my own for a whole year :/<br /><br />Now it is going to take a lot of work and repetition to get it cemented into muscle memory so I don't fall into "old ways" when I hit the trail. More reason to spend some quiet trail sessions before riding with a buddy again.<br /><br />I wonder if we do this enough if she will turn the page to not wanting to race the horse in front? That will be obstacle # 2 on this fix it agenda.<br /><br />So happy that I have my endurance minded friends. Everyone is so helpful...and if you want some iris come July, just let me know.All Who Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811193190492037859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-92037714896239039292009-05-04T17:37:00.000-04:002009-05-04T17:37:00.000-04:00That's great!

But if you ever do need to get her trotting faster, you will know if you post a little faster she will go faster. Post slower and relaxed like you were and she will go slower. <br /><br />Laura and I rode at Versailles Saturday. It didn't rain and ended up being perfect weather. It was muddy and the creeks were full. We did XYZ and B. (could have done A too but Laura had to be back for her daughters soccer game.) The horses barely even broke a sweat and weren't tired at all. It took just under 2.5 hours and we had to go slow because of the terrible mud. I'd like to do 50's with them soon. Been advised that I could do a slow 50 with them at Top of the Rock. I want too so bad. But won't, we will just do the LD. I want to do at least one LD this season before we attempt a slow 50.<br /><br />Michelle DetmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-7822522724501481492009-05-04T17:24:00.000-04:002009-05-04T17:24:00.000-04:00Way to go! So happy to hear you found that "happy...Way to go! So happy to hear you found that "happy trot". I found that if I focused on putting my heels DOWN on the "up" part of the post, that helps me. So even though I am going "up", I'm actually sinking "down". Maybe thtat doen'st make any sense, but it helps me visualize what I'm trying to do.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.com
