I've know Annette for a while now... She taught me alot, and this year I really "let go" and took her advice and listened. She is my trainer at home, and has been for a while now...
Our last lesson? Nervous? Hell yeah! What did we do? I gave him all the rein he wanted, used my "seat" and rode him until I got it. What's "it"? Asher was round as a basketball... okay, not that round, but after 10 minutes of leaving his head alone, he was so relaxed... round, soft, forward. yeahoo!!! Ride him on the friggen buckle if I have too. It's not easy riding in my ring. Any eventer could ride it with ease. But, you really learn how to ride, that is the good thing.
Stop fussing over the reins. They are not there to hold onto. They are not there to make your horse go round. Use your reins for that and you will have a hollow back. No arguments there. Nuff said!
