3/6/2013 Lesson

I rode Majik for my lesson.  We started out doing an exercise by riding a square and doing quick, sharp turns and using outside seat bone, and strong half halt.  We first did this at the trot, then the canter to do almost a quarter pirouette.  We probably got one or two out of the many attempted as he gets pushy and lazy.  To remedy that lazy mood I  would transition to a halt and rein back to help him sit more on his hind.  From that we did extended canters and then practiced the tests for IDA.  he was very good!
