Saturday - Marie Pruden - freestyle notes

2014 9/27/Marie/Freestyle
·        Warmup:
o   Mount, sit and do nothing
o   Test lateral flexion commitment
o   Test hq/fq flexibility and backup
o   Walk til she blows plus my pilates
·        Warmup patterns to test connection and responsiveness:
o   Straight line follow my focus
§  The fewer corrections the more rest
o   Circle and figure 8
o   Start with visualization/intention
o   All corrections to pattern made with hq/leg not reins
o   For dressage/finesse—we do not want to have to use reins to stay on the pattern
·        Warmup for impulsion/relaxation
·        Warmup for suppleness: lateral and vertical
Misc
·        Check how light is light with leg at girth for HQ/FQ/sideways movement
·        Green cow—would Try like to chase green ball out of the ring when we finish?
·        Check my R/L balance/brushing my teeth
·        Use scale of 1-10 to check for progress
·        Round turn/circle is inside leg; square is outside leg pushing
·        Neutral is a fixed position for freestyle, ?steady contact for finesse?
·        Believe I can do it

·        The plan
