Very pointless post, just that she was awesome :)
We worked a lot on diamonds today checking she was bending through her ribs and totally straight when I needed her to be. Leg yield was great and did lots of canter work, collecting on a 10m circle then some medium trot

Well I can see your photo. Lovely.

What's a diamond?

Riding a diamond shape basically so straight lines concentrating on the straightness and then an acute turn on to another straight line
Helps me get control of her shoulders

It's a great feeling - here's to the next time! I used to find diamonds and squares helped get off the forehand as well as with lateral, but that may not be an issue you have.

Yeah we did some canter work on a 10m circle which was amazing, I felt her lift through her shoulders and back Grin

Oops, I read that and thought your horse was called Diamonds. I was thinking what a very apt name for the jubilee and all! BlushGrin

Lol!

I made a album public so you can see her
