Thanks for sharing yours. It looks really good and I think it would work for Rogo and I. I like your reminder to focus on the quality of the gait, not the movement. I have to say, it isn't just Izzy who's improving. I can see a real difference in your seat and you both look fit and 'on'. Really nice.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-24642718177065492922011-10-01T04:44:13.756-06:002011-10-01T04:44:13.756-06:00You both look fantastic!

Even on the loose rein you DO have contact, look at her reaching down, and I get you can feel it to. She is looking for the contact. Although it might not be a high and mighty head set, less rein, or 'pulling on her mouth'. You are getting the contact at the loose rein, that is sooooo good! She has been looking so good. Even in the warm up trotting pictures you have contact. You don't have to be 'round' to have contact with her mouth. She looks great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-12912044310704032992011-09-30T11:46:50.499-06:002011-09-30T11:46:50.499-06:00Yep, that answers my question. :)Yep, that answers my question. :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717721719853988310noreply@blogger.com
