On to the pony business. Since I am finally getting Stinker working correctly and he is willing to play ball with me, I have started focusing more on me. Making extra sure that I am well balanced and have my legs under me. Trying to get my rouge right arm under control. I don't know what is up with it, but it will not stay by my side. Left elbow is fine, but the right wants to wave out there and do I don't know what. Along this same line I am really working on improving our transitions and having them come totally from the seat and core.
More cookies for me and less for you!
Ugh I'm so bummed I missed the contest (not for lack of talking about it but talk is cheap right?). Anyway for core exercises I think evention tv did a good video for quick exercises that can be done around the barn
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check on that video! Thanks
DeleteThe annoying part is that I waffled a lot between GB and France and ultimately went with GB. Whoops.
ReplyDeleteI was actually really surprised that no one had picked them. I didn't really even consider them to be honest.
DeleteI am going to be eagerly stalking the comments of this post for core exercises, as this topic (and my lack of strength) came up in my lesson last night! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if it's even possible to have enough. More is always needed. More core more leg forever and always
DeleteSo as much as I would like to be a winner, I have to do the honest thing here and point out that Canada/Netherlands/Australia were my picks for Show Jumping, not Eventing (I just went back and double checked my entry). For Eventing I put down Canada/Ireland/Brazil, so that officially moves me from first place to last place =-P
ReplyDeleteWell damn. I tried for you ;)
DeleteI'll get that fixed.
Damn its a million way tie for second!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm hoping that dressage and show jumping will shake things up a bit.
DeleteSheesh we're all tied for last. As for core, exercises, I find sitting on a ball chair at work helps a lot. That and lots of sitting trot/bareback work.
ReplyDeleteI actually made a mistake on that one, so everyone except one is tied for first.
DeleteI'll have to actually get my exercise ball out. I had kind of forgotten it. Thanks :)
Haha we're all such winners.
ReplyDeleteMy secret to a strong core is...cleaning 24 stalls 3 days a week. Srsly. It does wonders.
That does sound effective! :)
DeleteAfter 8 months, my core is probably the strongest it's ever been ;)
