Clinic with Dennis Callin

I rode 2 times with Dennis Callin over the weekend. I always enjoy my rides with him, they're challenging, yet fair to me and my horse. Plus I always walk away with something to focus on in my daily riding until he returns! Today, for the first time ever we worked on half steps, preparing for the piaffe. Amazing! At first, Fin was very worried, as Dennis had a whip in his hand and was lightly touching Fin on his croup and legs. But we actually got a few baby piaffe steps! It was great. And our trot work after that was fantastic because he was so forward and sensitive. We also worked for the first time on flying changes every 4th stride. Oh man, that was fun. :) Final was such a trouper and worked so hard, I'm very proud of my boy who just turned 17 years young! Wish I had some pics to post, maybe next time.
