lighter and lighter

This morning we practiced bowing from the saddle before working in the ring with the double. Really nice lateral work. Still working harder to get the right bend, though, in all lateral work. Half passes at the walk are really getting light and accurate. So much fun. Impulsion at the trot in the double really coming along. W-T-W transitions in shoulder in. Occasional piaffe steps being offered. (!) Shoulder in at the trot coming along nicely. Travers very solid. Travers on the circle being understood better now.

Have not missed a day of training this week--just skipped the blog. Have used the double twice this week and done at least one jump session. Riding bareback off the halter in the evening when I'm bored. Great progress all around.
