Many Thanks Mrs.Malone

Connie came over and gave me a lesson in ground driving, and she gave Teri and Kathryn riding lessons.

Connie and Jack









Connie and Kathryn

Kathryn is doing so good. I was so proud to "show her off" to Connie. In the pictures below, she has a fabulous little leg position. She listened really well and did what Connie asked. Way to go Kathryn!!






Kathryn looks TOUGH AS NAILS!!!! I love it!! When she does start showing in the Hunter Divisions, she will be the one to beat!!






Connie and Teri

Teri did very well riding with someone new. She totally got what Connie was telling her and she tries so so so hard. She gives it her all and we are definitely seeing results.



(Above) I love this picture. I can totally see a bend in Penny. She is listening to your cues. You have a lot of inside leg on her and she is responding nicely. This is what you want. What's really cool is, you have almost no contact with your inside rein yet you are getting this nice bend out of her. Your leg is a little far back but you are getting the job done in this pic. This is what I mean by riding off your legs and not your hands. Don't get me wrong, you do want contact with the horses mouth but this photo is a good example of the horse responding to leg pressure.



(Above) You have very nice contact with the horses mouth in this picture. There is a nice strait line extending to the bit. You need to sit back a little, you are leaning forward. You need to get your heels down more and toes in.



(Above) Your leg position is BEAUTIFUL in this picture.



(Above) You need to get your weight down in your heals. You are getting a nice bend out of Penney in this picture.





Girlfriend!!! Get your heels down!!



You did really well taking from a new person.



Your leg position looks awsomw in this pic. You've come a long way Ms. Teri!!
