I got to play videographer for GunDiva's first dressage lesson today...and we both learned a lot and had a great time. Hop over to Tales from the Trail and have a look. I got some insight into an issue I have and learned more about how the mechanics of the body affect the horse. I have learned a great deal from Mark Rashid clinics on horse movement and that our bodies have a huge 'cause and effect' on how our horses behave. This just added to that stockpile of info and even though it was darn cold out there, I thoroughly enjoyed the time as it flew by. Two hours went really, really fast!

I'll be a cantering fool by the time Estes comes home!

That's what I always got out of the lessons, too--an awareness of how the slightest movement affects the horse. It was hard for me to take in all of that data! Good luck, Gun Diva!
