Gia - session 825 - dressage lesson at CDP

 Gia and I had a dressage lesson at CDP with Charlie today.  She was a bit more tense today that last time, for whatever reason, I don't know.  Charlie had me put her to work right away with leg yield, bending, changes of direction, haunches-in, shoulder-in, transitions between gaits and within gaits.  When we added the canter, she was a bit feisty, and did throw in a few, small, bucks.  Charlie had me gain control of her outside shoulder, which helped a lot.  Tracking left, I had to focus on pushing her into the circle with my outside leg, and tracking right, I had to focus on pushing her out of the circle.  We were able to get several decent canters after that.  Not her best, but acceptable.
