OK. So no need to judge the riding. It was a quick ride, and I was just showing Chris what Spyder has learned. Since I haven't been riding consistently, my leg is terrible and my posture worse! I am a rocker at the canter (Dom would say, "Stop humping your horse/saddle!"), and I am posting forward (with my big butt flopping all over the back of the saddle). I know! Always nice to see the reality of your terrible ways through video.
Progression of the ride per the last blog... YouTube video comments explain the deal. Don't mind the frustration/awful noises coming from me when he tries to break or get lazy.

You guys are improving so much. He really held that canter! Trot in, canter out is a great exercise, even for horses who DON'T have problems cantering :)
Haha, thought of you when I saw myself being a terrible rider only for the comments, of course! I FINALLY feel like we're doing well! He's getting it!!!
Haha. I WOULD say that :-P
