Lately we have been working on our course work. Sometimes we unintentionally get stuck on gymnastics for a while, which is not a bad place to be, but course work is equally important, to us, because it makes us think. You can't be saved by the flow and calculation of a gymnastic line. So we've been working on bending lines and rollbacks. I always put an in and out in our course work too.
Today we did some dressage work. I wanted to get Klein stretching. Here's a short clip from today of Klein on a loose rein, also courtesy of The Other Half:
How bout that Mochi photo bomb? Notice I was leaning forward a little bit, ugh, my WORST habit, but I have been making a big effort lately to fix that.
Today I also worked on driving with my leg. That is my other bad habit, I don't drive with my leg as much as I should. This is the start of getting ready to tune up our dressage work... Speaking of, look what I found today while going through pics on my laptop, this is from a Chatt Hills HT:

My Beauty Queen, with her lipstick on and everything.
Love the slo mo! Klein is breathtaking as usual.
ReplyDeleteThat slo-mo jumping video is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe slo-mo video is super cool!
ReplyDeleteSlo-mo horse footage is like crack. It is just so intriguing I swear I could watch it all day long.
ReplyDeleteI never ever EVER watch videos, but I must have watched your slo-mo video 6 or 7 times. I would love it if you posted more of those. Seeing not only the way Klein's body moved, but also the way yours moved, is really helpful to me as I focus hard on our biomechanics over fences right now. And you guys look AWESOME!
