Dressage Practice

On of the great things about turning thirty-- twenty one!, is that my family got together and bought me a Hi Definition Video camera. So now, I can post videos in startling clarity, which is either a good or a bad thing, depending on my riding that day! :)

I dub the new, better videos, Breg-o-Vision!

As a consequence, I am experimenting with alternative video hosting. So I have for your review a small series of clips from my last dressage work, complete with claps of thunder and torrential rain.

Please leave a comment about your experiences, if you strongly prefer one way or another. One of these days, I am going to learn how to use all this technology to make nicer videos with better production values. But for now, a rough fade between clips was all I could manage.

Oh, yea, about the horse... :)

We worked on canter departs and upward transitions. You can see in the halt to walk how he reaches under with his hind legs. The last two canter departs were not quite there yet, a couple of trot steps, but much better.
