What a wonderful epiphany! Don't fee...Carol,<br /> What a wonderful epiphany! Don't feel bad- we all have little things we are doing wrong, and we feel terrible when we discover them. But I really think our horses are pretty forgiving of us. Having said that it happens to all of us, how terrific to learn more about your weighting a stirrup and making some changes and having your dear boy respond so well! Good boy, Rogo! And wonderful for you Carol!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141033474195269489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-44281572092159350622010-12-08T11:57:50.244-08:002010-12-08T11:57:50.244-08:00Sounds like you have made breakthroughs!

Awesome Carol.<br /><br />As hard as it may be to swallow sometimes, I know it is for me - (excepting lameness / injury) the problem is always with the rider. <br /><br />I have the same issue as you but the opposite side - too much weight in the left, light in the right. I couldn't get Val to turn/bend left for months until I realized. Thank goodness they're so tolerant. They're just giving us what we ask for, whether we realize it or not :)Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-60780280886821931132010-12-08T05:19:27.838-08:002010-12-08T05:19:27.838-08:00Good for you!

So many people are convinced their horses are dull - no horse is dull - when it's them blocking the forward motion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-58990959860165375142010-12-08T01:16:35.116-08:002010-12-08T01:16:35.116-08:00that's so awesome, even reading this post clea...that's so awesome, even reading this post cleared a lot up for me. i was complaining about oscar's stiffness in the left, but put it down to me being right handed and blocking him in the left rein, but it makes a lot of sense that i'm also weighting the right seat bone too. come to think of it, i'm almost certain i do.<br /><br />glad to hear you've had a eureka moment so you and rogo will be getting even more awesome :) :)<br /><br />ps: savanah is definately adorable!Hurricanes12https://www.blogger.com/profile/17276210959829300687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-37717477494916874762010-12-07T20:16:51.923-08:002010-12-07T20:16:51.923-08:00So great you figured out a key to the trot issue. ...So great you figured out a key to the trot issue. I feel the same with Steady as you do with Rogo. If I could just figure out the right way to ask he will give me what I want.
