I ride a very hot OTTB and I've been having to retrain myself to ride with proper eq because of how horrible my leg had gotten from making sure I didn't bump him. I won't be riding him this coming season (as of right now) so I've been trying to rid myself of some habits.
I've been working on it on a super sweet Perch/TB cross.
How is it looking? I'm mostly focusing on my leg and this horse isn't exactly the prettiest mover but he helps me to just focus on my riding.
Don't mind the muddiness, our catchpen becomes a pit and there isn't anything we can do about it - also don't critique the horse! He's not a great mover and I really have no way to get him into a nice frame or anything. He's a jumper - not a flat horse lol
And I know my hands are messed up in both :/ I need better contact and need to carry them a bit better. It was weird to transition from the hot OTTB to this basically dead-to-leg horse.
