A few friends have raised their eyebrows about the short time, but it actually feels like the perfect amount of coaching with the one on one attention.
Efficient and to the point.
Ellie came out bright and ready to work today, the tranter step had diminished substantially. We trotted a crossrail back and forth, a brush box a few times, and trotted into a line. Then Diane made the crossrail a vertical and the "in" fence to the line a vertical and we cantered the four fence "course" twice. Ellie was brave and I felt confident.
After our lesson I watched one of the only juniors, Marika, jump around and then she and I headed out for a short trail ride which took us across some of the rolling fields on the property.
A lovely Sunday at the barn!
That's interesting... Out of curiosity are the timing changes reflected in your lesson price?
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good weekend
We have a flat training fee that covers all lessons, training rides, turnout, eurosizer, blanketing, etc
DeleteI think that's kind of an awesome concept!
ReplyDeleteI like that concept. Short and to the point!
ReplyDeleteinteresting format! one of my trainers typically only coaches us through the jumping, except occasionally if he notices something amiss during our warm up he'll drill into the flat work a little bit. and i actually really appreciate that, since i can almost always see a difference in the jumping
ReplyDeleteI actually really like that concept. I think 15 minutes of straight jumping is actually a really long time, and if done correctly you can get just as much out of 15 minutes of straight instruction as you can out of an hour group lesson. Cool.
ReplyDeleteVery good idea!
