New balance

No not the shoes, although I will be getting a new pair of running shoes when I get my next paycheck. I write of a new sense of balance I achieved in riding tonight. I learned a lot from the weekend of polo, so with Laura's help we set in to correct some problems...mainly, that I was balancing with my hands. The drill that finally cured me (at least for this particular training session) was letting the reigns drop/hang while keeping my hands back at my hip. This forced me to balance with my body rather than with my hands. Overall the ride felt great, my canter was the smoothest its ever felt and I felt a lot more confident after the balance drill.
