Circles......

Ride in a circle. How hard is that? I'm not a total novice to riding horses but I am to dressage. To save my life I could not get Wally to go into the circle. I would get one corner very well then I would poop out on the next corner. I never dreamed in all of my life I would have trouble riding a circle. A couple of times he even went out of the ring. My brain is trying to process inside leg, outside rein. Of course, Nick Handy, a medalist in dressage was riding in the opposite arena. I guess I showed him....baaahaahaaa But, I did have a very good lesson today with Anna. She gave me the United States Pony club Manual of Horsemanship to read. I guess I'll have to get to work.
