Theory-time today, so we ended up spending the lesson discussing the theoretical aspects of (I think I’ve got the English terminology right this time) shoulder in, haunches in, counter haunches in (I’ve also seen this called haunches out) and half pass. Which probably won’t help too much with my tendency to over-think things, as I have a feeling I will need to break out a book or two to study up on this before the next class. It did, however, help clear up some questions, though sadly not in regards to what on earth I am going to do about my legs being all over the place.
Didn’t get much of a chance to check out Murphy, but he seemed a little less irritable. Of course, that could be because I wasn’t coming into his stall with a saddle, just with some nice, minty treats. But even that is occasionally regarded with suspicion.
