I was a rider through my childhood with weekly lessons and had a pony on loan for a while in my teenage years. I am confident but not knowledgable and have to confess to not really understanding the jargon used by teachers.
How do I find a yard and confess to being able to ride a cross country course but dont know what they mean by many of the terms they use?
E.g. "keep the contact"
"Get more impulsion"
"Feel the diagnonal, don't look for it" (I can see when I am on the right diagonal but I cannot feel it).
Any suggestions of how to find a good yard where I can admit my lack of understanding and improve?

I can ride, pretty well but I still can't "feel" the diagonal in trot
