Flying lead changes are my dream. I might have mentioned my intensive crazy dream a couple of times over the past 50 million posts.
Fancy had a session with Erin where Erin explained the final solution to getting flying changes for me. It’s much too complicated to explain. I have to do the moves at a walk first to get my body to obey. Erin Patterson is an exceptional teacher. She teaches the horse and figures out the even more difficult human! She also figures out the pattern which will work the best
I’m coming along. It might not be hopeless. Fancy is a wonderful horse!
We have been doing intensive leg yielding exercises at a walk, flat foot walk, fox trot and leg yield flying change attends at the canter in the past week. We did all on this day another rider said something to me and pointed at Fancy’s hindquarters. I looked and a hindquarters muscle was in spasm. Oh Lordy, I might have been practicing leg yielding too much.
Scream! Fancy got a vacation and chiropractic session.
