Simple Changes Never Felt so Good

I had a really fun ride on ET after quadrille Friday. He was all warmed up from the walk and trot in quadrille. I really like how in control of your horse you have to be in quadrille because it forces you to really think about where your horses feet are and where to place them. This a great warm up, as it gets you really in tune with your horse. Et and I worked on some simple changes. I can really feel my core working with his, as just a few months ago the walk to canters were not all there. It was such an amazing feelings to change my body and know he is all there with me. We did it twice really well. I think Et gets a little excited too. It's kind of like he wakes up and is all there, as opposed to some other stuff we do where he's half faking it, half giving you what he can. I love doing these moves where he likes his job and wants to please. I also am so thankful for how great of a teacher he is. I'm not doing those things perfectly, but he knows what I'm asking and fills in all of my gaps. A truly great equine.
