Over the topline I'd say he's more consistent (maybe thats what you mean by smoother?), but his front and hind legs are actually more active. :)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358254040902578396.post-11331945302530210922014-04-03T11:48:07.469-07:002014-04-03T11:48:07.469-07:00I can't wait to see improvements (more, hopefu...I can't wait to see improvements (more, hopefully less shameful video to come). :)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358254040902578396.post-15991922410070318142014-04-03T11:47:33.740-07:002014-04-03T11:47:33.740-07:00He is a sweetie for sure. :) I'm hoping to p...He is a sweetie for sure. :) I'm hoping to post a video at the end of this month like "check out what we can do now!"Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358254040902578396.post-6498682784274562052014-04-03T11:46:18.602-07:002014-04-03T11:46:18.602-07:00I didn't use te audio on my piece of the video...I didn't use te audio on my piece of the video, mostly because it was my trainer just repeating something over and over again to me (lift up your inside hand, look around, put your legs back, don't turn in) but it was shocking to just see basically *no change* in my riding while she was talking. And it's shocking because when I'm riding I feel like I'm making these huge, monumental shifts when she's telling me to do things. Clearly I need to learn to be less subtle about my changes. :)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358254040902578396.post-68857852214123443192014-04-03T11:44:38.784-07:002014-04-03T11:44:38.784-07:00Thanks!

Since I'm not a rider, it's hard for me to verbalize, but he looks "smoohter" (and faster) with Glenda. Is that right? Anyway, it'll be fun to see how it progresses!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826121197773999327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358254040902578396.post-57581147677863795332014-04-03T00:20:22.305-07:002014-04-03T00:20:22.305-07:00Can't wait to hear about all your improvements...Can't wait to hear about all your improvements and lightbulb moments during this bootcamp month! :DAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5358254040902578396.post-60140866555961475532014-04-02T22:00:13.854-07:002014-04-02T22:00:13.854-07:00Gavin looks really nice!
