Thursday - Kathy and Devon - Downward Transitions - Laterals and Canter

1. After warming up we worked on trot to walk transitions. Conclusion: take the following steps.

1. Visualize the transition
2. Alert Devon with less leg and Try ?? (attention)
3. Sit deep
4. Apply 1/2 halt phases
5. Goal--smooth, immediate, good energy kept thru rebalancing the gaits, without little extra steps, etc using HQ. 
6. Homework: visualize this process and make it a habit. Film this each ride and watch for progress. 

Using intention and energy to power up i.e. in changing rein on the diagonal straight away.

Laterals: leg yield, haunches in and shoulder in.

Canter on the circle and then onto the rain.
