Riley Lesson, 1/12

Endless, boring trotwork -- bless you if you actually watch it all. This was a nice lesson, or at least it felt good. It is a little hard to tell, but we are working on transitions and shallow leg yields. The leg yields tend to cause a loss of energy, which you can see occasionally. The canter-work (not shown here) is much improved overall, but it does vary from lesson to lesson. With the weather, Ri is not getting out as much, and rather than risk a big buck we are letting the trainer handle canter till the weather breaks!
