For those who didn't see any previous posts, i had a year off riding, and only rode western for the two years before that. So my english riding is shit a little rusty.
I've been having lessons at a lovely little school to get back into it and everything is coming together! RI says my transitions were much, MUCH better today (Had been struggling a little with trot - canter - trot transitions which had really been getting me down - When i know how to and know i can do something and it doesn't happen! Grrr!), and i've gotten back into the habit of actually using the reins and doing it well apparently (The mare i was riding western, i could and would practically chuck the reins at her and GO! Used to gallop the length of our onsite hacking track thing holding the buckle of the reins regularly).
I was so so pleased with my transitions and seat today i had to share. Feel free to ignore my rambling, it's just so nice for riding to feel how it should do rather than like i'm bumbling around winging it.
