Paxton Video

Silverleprichua · 04-28-2008, 06:33 PM

Short video of paxton and i playing in the round pen and riding in the indoor arena because it was pouring.
I am thrilled to get back on her for the second time since she went into full training 3 weeks ago, she really feels so much more balanced and willing.
COntructive criticism is more than welcome. My hands were less than subtle at times and I got really stiff with my elbows but to my defense (truly not trying to make excuses here) transitioning from tiny ponies to her big stride after two weeks took a good bit of adjustment.
Hopefully once school gets out I can ride her more and we can really get her tuned up and ready for sale.
Enjoy!

Very good work. Especially on that last bit of the lunging. She is ery in tune to you.

She is moving forward nicely, and is listening well. Try to keep your hands closer together ( although I realize this may be part of the training). Otherweise you look great!

I love how I can critique, but I can't seem to do any of it myself! *blush*

Where do you board??? It's BEAUTIFUL!!

You look good! Only critiques- for dressage, put your hands up higher (3 inches at least) and sit back further. You are in a bit of a forward seat (I have had both those problems forever- I am an expert now!!

)

you're right. I do tend to drop my hands and tip forward. Maybe now that I have mirrors it will help

You look great to me! I love the sound of the rain in the background of the video. I wish my horse had lunging manners like that! wow

That lunging is so cool. She's paying attention to every cue in your body language. If only Alfie would do that *sigh*

Good job!
