Such a great clinic again with Mike Henaghan this weekend. Mike inspires us to do better- with all the tools that we already have, he helps us sort out when and where to use them. Perfection is a hard thing to accomplish but when riding with Mike we all come very close to it, each time improving and building on what we did the time before. Some of his quotes that I found noteworthy:
Analyze and React!
Two Reins
Take your time
Open and close your canter
Answer one question at a time
Check your Rein Aids!
What are you going to do? (as you come out of the corner to a jump)
Sink and shorten , not lean back ( or forward!) and abandon
Heels!
I couldn’t get everyone’s videos but I did get some of them. Watch them all to further educate yourself.
