Riding lesson today was interesting. Once warmed up and trotting, with the usual culprits of balance, bend, leg and hands being addressed throughout, the rest of the lesson was on what I call “the bow tie”. Here is my poor, hastily sketched representation of the pattern we rode:. Short side of arena is at top and bottom of the diagram, long side of the arena is the leftmost portion of the drawing where there is a straight line (the rail) ]. Yikes, I’ll be on this for the next ten years! By The Lite Rider.

All posts for the month July, 2015. Sometimes I need mindless crafting. Here is a photo of my start on a lap throw I’m crocheting. Crafting the rows is meditative. I don’t have to worry too much about intricate stitching. I have 60 rows left. I like the simplicity, as many other items I’ve crocheted required more focus and attention. Signing off now to get some chores done prior to riding at 12:30 today. 8211; The Lite Rider. By The Lite Rider. July 23, 2015. Posted by The Lite Rider on July 23, 2015.

Archiving | The Lite Rider
https://thedancingrider.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/archiving
Yesterday I archived several photos. Got them onto thumb drives to preserve them. I came across some skiing photos. These were “fluff shots” taken by a slope-side photographer. These folks only use tame terrain for the general public — for obvious reasons! While the photos didn’t capture our hell-bent-all-out skiing style, they were still fun to see again. Skiing was my favorite sport, with horseback riding now a close second. By The Lite Rider. August 7, 2015. Posted by The Lite Rider on August 7, 2015.

All posts by The Lite Rider. Today We Lost a Special Friend. Today, one of our cats, Tomo (short for Tomodachi, meaning “little friend”) has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Tomo was one of the litter of four we saved, and took in. He was only four and a half years old. We are so sorry his life had to be so short. But we are grateful, and thankful, we could know him and have him with us. His three litter mates, and our fourth cat, will have to go on without him now. As will we. By The Lite Rider.

Crop Under Thumbs | The Lite Rider
https://thedancingrider.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/crop-under-thumbs
Today’s riding lesson was interesting. All of it was done at trot. We did the “hold the crop under your thumbs” exercise all lesson. I really liked this exercise. I didn’t have to think about my hands! Having their position dictated by the crop meant other things lined up better, too. Right! I can employ this exercise on my own — and my trainer recommends I do so. We also worked on letting the legs/feet flop – meaning relax more. I am hoping our current work, coupled with the 10 months (that seemed like ...
