So, now it´s done. I have submitted my first video, Groundwork Grade 1, for ST Evaluation. I don´t know if I´m very comfortable with being on YouTube but I guess I have to get used to it :))
It has been a very valuable learning experience to begin from scratch in groundwork, with new eyes. I have understood that my horse still is too heavy sometimes on the shoulders, even in standing still. I have to put her weight back now and then and then she offers me more softness in forward-down and in the stellning-bending. The position on the inside is new for me and I think it is a very good complement to the position I´m used to have when I´m going backwards in front of the horse. When going backwards I can work more easily with both sides and shoulders of the horse. I can work with our frames and our balance and a lot with my own body awareness. But on the inside I reaches the inside hindleg and quarter, I can ask for more softness and I can use my hand to do observing halfhalts. I can also feel at once when the horse starts to push and I think the position on the inside is a very good preparation for the longeing.
And finally, Good News! :) Yesterday Venus got her second treatment by a physiotherapist. Venus is healing surprisingly well but there was found more strains, in the abdominal muscles (!). These strains have pulled the back downwards and this explains why she hasn´t always moved in a correct way. Probably the tensions from her abdomen also are a big contribution to the muscle rupture in her back . Now the problems are fixed (!) and I have been told that I can probably sit on her again the day after tomorrow... I don´t know really if I believe this, but I have hope! :)
I have started "Ann´s channel" on YouTube. There you can watch my first Evaluation video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcG7X2-vA3E
