I’ve been coached while doing flying lead attempts for 4 years. I’ve reached
\nalmost Master’s Degree in flying lead changes.
\nJenny, the coach, always sez, “Squeeze with your right\/left LEG” at the magic
\nmoment when changing directions.<\/p>\n
And that’s exactly what I have done all these years. I have squeezed with my
\nentire leg. Actually, I’ve pressed my entire leg on the side of the horse.
\nWhat good do you think that has done? This is like the difference between
\nthe web halter and the rope halter.
\nDUH<\/p>\n
This is flying lead change month again at Pine Dell. We just started the
\ntheme again. Jenny does all the themes in accordance to my needs. I still
\nhaven’t fully accomplished flying lead changes with Velvet yet.<\/p>\n
So, I’m thinking…I’m just going to press my heel into Velvet’s side…not
\nmy entire leg.\u00a0 So, we were going a surpisingly fast speed and at the magic moment, I placed my heel in Velvet’s side and she moved her hindquarters over so quickly and so far, that she almost moved the saddle completely out from underneath
\nme!!!!<\/p>\n
EGAD! BLINDING LIGHT!<\/p>\n
Now I have to practice on putting my heel into her at the right time (along
\nwith all the other things that have to be done exactly right) and I bet I’ve
\ngot the flying lead changes nailed.<\/p>\n
