Rode today after a day off yesterday. Mattie has learned to put her head way down and her chin by her chest (behind the bit), so this is our next hurdle...getting her head back up where it's supposed to be. I am supposed to use check-give with my reins instead of holding them steady, and use my legs to drive her forward when she buries her head in her chest. It took me so long to finally get her head down, now it's down way too far! Sheesh! No canter work today because I am still a bit sore from my spill on Saturday, but definately tomorrow.
