It is so funny to me, seeing the difference between Ken’s equestrian experiences and mine. I guess it all stems from having an engineering perspective.
I always have to remind myself not to keep looking down at Champagne. He is such a miracle to me that I always want to look at him, see how he is doing, and revel in the feeling of me-on-horseback. Ken just looks up and out to see where he’s going.
It took me maybe six months to get that change of posting diagonal right. Ken just does it, and it isn’t complex at all. He just sits two bumps and he’s up again. He counts, he posts.
When the instructor says, “use your right leg”, Ken uses his right leg. Me, I have to think which one that is.
He seems to be learning quite fast. All he needs is to have the task explained to him in a series of steps, and he follows those steps. Sure, he’s wobbly at times, and at times is searching for his balance, but his hands are quiet (even if not low). I’m learning a lot from watching him get his lesson each week. It is very fun for me!
