If she's REALLY got a broad Cob back, they even make the same saddle in a broadback tree.

I once sat on a school horse that was the kick-ride of the barn and he practically leapt out of his skin, I used so much leg as my baseline. So I need to re-learn this one too.

With Paddy I can just put my thigh on, with Taran it's still a massive struggle that usually involves a pony-club kick and a tap on the butt. I definitely find it hard to refine my aids once your horse can take a more refined aid!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-23735073758987965312016-04-12T11:35:53.191-04:002016-04-12T11:35:53.191-04:00I always love these posts, you help me figure out ...I always love these posts, you help me figure out what I'm doing with my body that's not helping me and Katai!Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-62669871853778335712016-04-12T11:06:19.046-04:002016-04-12T11:06:19.046-04:00Oh, how I dream of that feeling... like, ALL the t...Oh, how I dream of that feeling... like, ALL the time!! <3Equine Snobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763483900684638547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-39536609086709244502016-04-12T10:08:51.690-04:002016-04-12T10:08:51.690-04:00Ha!
