Dingo has been enjoying a well earned rest for the last 6 weeks - I think it was supposed to be 4 weeks, but, well, it appears that time flies. He came back into work with a reasonably easy going dressage session.
I have learnt so much in the last six weeks. I have been trying it all out on Lil, of course, but I was just dying to try it out on Dingo. To feel what the difference was. To feel how he would respond.
He responded really well, and some of the learnings certainly apply much more to Dingo than to Lil. I have also realised - he is much much harder to ride than Lil. Or rather, he is much harder to ride well; to ride in a way that will score you high marks in a competition. Timing, balance and precision is everything with this little pony. All while staying totally calm and relaxed of course!
