So, did you ride today?
Indeed I did ride today. Did it go better than last time? Yes. Thank God. :-) Turns out that the way of teaching dressage was completely different 10 years ago. She's still trying to beat the hunter of out me though :-) Hunters are very noisy. Dressage is a more subtle and quiet, and polite, so the way that I'm using my aids is completely different. But I'm relearning. The only sore spot to my ego is she's treating me like a rank beginner, but I guess in a different way, I am. :-) But in two lessons, I can see a vast improvement in the way that I ride.
And it turns out that her instructor was my very first dressage instructor, so I'm going back tomorrow to say hello.
