A little more polo

It was another Waco night. Had the usual problems at the walk and trot...a bumpy ride. We had a little difficulty getting up to canter, my balance was a little off again, but once we figured that out, it was smooth sailing. Jason, a polo player that recently moved to Seattle from Yakima, stopped in just in time to watch Virginia and I pick up the foot mallets for some polo work. Jason corrected my mallet grip and gave me some pointers on balance as well. A little improvement at the trot, but my attempts at hitting the ball (or orange cone in this case) at the canter were pretty poor. I was always late with my stroke. But it was fun and once again, polo help to correct some issues I had in riding...namely being comfortable with the trot/canter transitions. I don't think I'll ever be a polo star, but it sure is fun and has been valuable in my overall riding.
