Another just riding lesson. Meg rode first and had a really nice canter. She showed me how to have a forward and opening left outside rein to create space for him to search and fill up. Balance between soft connection and release on the inside rein. The giving of the hand is crucial so he doesn’t feel stuck. Allowing the forward swing by following with my seat and using my outside aids to keep his shoulders on the circle line and the outside front leg swinging around.
