Riding Sassy-Videos

Today I had my third ride on Sassy. Remember that my rides on her are very short, so that the total riding time I have on her is less than 15 minutes. I think she is doing very well, and she feels good when I am on her- soft and willing, even when she is mouthing the bit she still comes back to me when I ask. Gotta love video for critiquing my own riding! If you look, in the first video, when I go to get on my toe pokes her leg, so she steps out; when I move my foot forward she stands quietly like she should. Note to self- slow my hands down!

Thanks, Sherry. She really is. After watching that a few times, I can see that I am really dropping my shoulders when I ask her to turn. Another note to self- sit straight!
