This was not the most helpful session--I was spacey and had trouble concentrating and was going sorta stream of consciousness which was not helpful and not taking advantage of Dawn's area of expertise.
Important: ask Marie for help in Jake's concepts of leading with the nose and using the HQ to shape both on the ground and in the saddle with the intention of helping supple Try. Email/video Dawn how it goes.
Also send Dawn my updated goals. Riding plan, Try, Sephira and I.
Nose leads: Nose, neck maybe the feet--think in everything you do. Use pushing the inside hind leg to shape on the circle and to release tension in Try's body. (wheelbarrow turn idea). NOTE: if the nose goes off the circle then the mind has already left. Adjust the mental with pushing hip if Try has checked out.
Reminder: cueing with leg--at the girth move sideways, in front of the girth move shoulder, 1-2" behind is move HQ.
On the ground playing on line circling game--when the nose leaves push the hip out. Relieve Try's brace in her rib cage. Marie--hand in pocket on circling game.
