The second issue is that, if like me you have after 30 years found the trainer who wants you to ride the way your brain has always thought you should, there is a lot of re-education on both sides the ex-hunter and the jockey.
Following a week of despair we have had yet another positive lesson and the point of this post is really to remind me not to break it before our next lesson.
Yesterday we finally started to unwrap the dressage cob that is Charlie. He has a lot on his hooves with having to retrain my hands and I have a lot on my hands having to retrain a slightly cheeky hunter who during his recuperation has been training me. That said in our lesson yesterday there were moments of magic.
The usual plan following a particularly good lesson is to go back in the school over the next few days and repeat the exercise. Not so this week today we did in-hand work just simple stuff we even took our copy of Philippe Karl and a pair of reading glasses into the school. Yet again no pictures it is very difficult when you work on your own and your horse always come to you.
Instead I am going to share some of Today's photos. Charlie lives in a small herd with two other Geldings. the yard car park is at the top of the hill so here is the sight that greeted me Charlie asleep and his little friend Munchkin Grazing nearby.
