Learning Trot

Leeza and Rene (as Rene calls me). He teaches me the verticle position and the importance of mooooving with the horse to ease the horse's effort. Wow, its a lot of work. Funny how I have an entirely new appreciation of how you actually ride a horse. Rene is trained in the classical masters of Spain. It was really an amazing day in feeling the presence of the horse, its movement and how my movement made its efforts more labored or effortless. Its like a moving yoga mat. Its a lot wider stance than my BMC race bike and I'm to move my pelvis and hold my chest and shoulders still. Quite different than cycling and creating greater body awareness. Very cool
