A short ridden session with Remy yesterday just moving him around the school, working on reinback, a little shoulder-in/shoulder-out, head to the fence, trying to get nice flexion and even bend with one or two baby sideways steps here and there. It was a little blustery and lots of flies, but he stayed pretty calm.
Jim did a little vid and I'm pretty horrified at the way I slump and sit over to the right and draw my leg up! Definitely need some eyes on the ground to keep me in check and yell at me every time I do that!
Remy's been a bit confused with the reinback and it shows on the vid, but he feels like he's starting to understand it a little more now.

Nice little jazzy tune playin' in the background, as the cameraman-JIM- took the neat video. Look at that Remey..he is exquiste!
Nice work Di!
Do you adn Trudi have the same make of saddle?
KK
He's looking good Di and you are too harsh on yourself. Are you sure it's you over to the right and not the saddle? Worth getting Jim to check the stirrup length once you're on. I thought you had eyes on the ground now?
Yes Kacy we do :)
Thanks Kacy, he's such a sweetie! Thanks Trudi. I'm not sure about the saddle, I just presumed it was me! I'll check it next time. Lynne hasn't been over recently as I've been mainly lungeing with some in-hand, but now I'm riding more, I'll definitely need her to come keep an eye on me.
i'm with Trudi - saddle seemed to have slipped slightly...
