I am very sorry I haven't been on very much, I've been having an extremely busy summer. I hope you have been having a fantastic one too!
I just had a very productive clinic with Ellen Eckstein, a fantastic dressage trainer! She gave me pointers on my position, and helped me straighten out Pacifico's hindquarters, since he likes to brace against my legs while tracking right. Once She taught me how to correct this, Pacifico felt even better than before, it was amazing.
I also just got my own dressage saddle, a Custom Revolution seventeen inch. It fits me PERFECTLY and puts me in a very nice position. It is made of Buffalo, which helps me grip the saddle very well on the sitting trot. I don't think I will ever be able to ride as happily in another saddle again. Like the old saying goes, once you go Buffalo, you never go back.
I highly recommend this saddle to anyone with the same body type as me. So if you are around 5'6'', have long legs and relatively narrow hips, you should check out this saddle, it will be well worth your time.
Anyways, I will try to update more regularly, and I hope to make a mini horse care lesson soon.
Thanks for reading!
