We had our second lesson with New Trainer today. As I'd suspected we were heaps better than last time, and by the end of the lesson we were even more heaps better still.
Quite remarkable.
The difference is that I am really riding the horse, keeping control of every stride rather than just hoping it will all stay ok. I have to really watch that left shoulder of his and keep hold of it especially during turns to the right, and to keep him balanced I aim for little strides and keep hold of his shoulders so they don't get too far in front of his back end. Then we end up with a nice pingy, balanced gait.
She said that if we do this, there's no reason why we shouldn't end up with a raft of 7s even in E42, and also pointed out that when I do manage to keep hold of Wilson, he looks flashy and impressive.
So "all" I have to do on Saturday is keep him relaxed (hah!) and remember to ride him. Yup, that's all. ALL!! I am terribly excited though and can't wait for tomorrow so that I can ride again!
