5-27-11 Focus of PORCUPINE POWER! I can honestly say that I now really understand the importance of game #2! It is something that most of us do not play enough with our partners. All zones soft and light with the slightest intention of steady feel/pressure.
I have been playing with ground driving and that quickly brings up how important game #2 really is...... Lordy is really improving with the leading rein starts and following the steady feel. Feather lines are really improving our finesse connection and we are moving in better unity.
I find at the canter I need to work hard to get back into zone 5. I find it easy to creep up next to zone 4. Staying in zone 5 is quite the challenge when cantering.
The trot changes of direction are getting so soft and Lordy is doing so much better at maintaining gait and direction with following a feel. I am very excited with the progress we have made together in a short period of time. We are focusing on level 4.
I feel like we now need to really play on the 45 at max distances and get respect with changes etc. Getting our better best... and never letting it rest.......
