And some crazy spotted horse did NOT want to go. It took me about 10 min to catch her. Not too long, all things considered, but she's usually easy to bring in. And she definitely had some get up and go. Only took a little leg to move off! So, my instructor had us work on downward transitions (no fun, let's do extended trot when she wants to go!) But, apparently, I'm supposed to get her to do what I want, not what she wants. We also work on turns on the forehand and haunches.
Common themes that instructor said:
1. Sit tall!
2. Bend elbows.
3. Keep butt in saddle (at canter).
4. Chin up!
