Dressage Camp Day 1

Felicity and I have been working very hard on our walk pirouette and canter for advanced moves and working on getting her round in the trot as well. We had an excellent ride on Tuesday and a pretty good ride today. The problem with today was that Doug was late coming to my lesson because he was busy talking to another participant. So Lissy and I were walking around aimlessly in the arena for a good 15 minutes. After that we did some posting trot at large in the arena and Lissy kept stopping so he handed me a whip and that just went poorly, we are obviously not ready to add a whip into the combination. However on a good note Lissy started to really bend at the poll and pull her head in and down. She is coming along very nicely for only being in training for about 5 months. I don't know what's wrong but part of me just feels kind of let down, I guess I feel like I didn't get a whole lot out of my lesson today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better and Doug will be less distracted so my lesson will be better.
