Today I rode both Shania and Rose. I warmed up Shania first and she seemed anxious. I think she was anxious because the workmen are still building our hot walker and our grass ring is directly next to it. Shania's very noise sensitive so I think the noise distracted her. I worked for ten minutes on my leg position at the sitting and posting trot without stirrups to strengthen my inner leg. Since Shania felt anxious I picked up my stirrups when we started to canter although I couldn't fully calm Shania down we still found good spots to the gymnastics line.
Rose was very lazy today and we broke from the canter five times unintensionally. Besides this minor error our lesson was good. To the gymnastics line we tended to drift to the right, but the last few times through the line we fixed that and I felt like I had more control. Overall I would say that my lessons themselves were average, but I learned a lot from my mistakes.

ohh i hate when they break from the canter! Red would never do it during training, only in dressage tests. But now we've got it sorted out.
