Debbie Bowman clinic

Debbie was here on Sunday Dec. 12th teaching all day and we loved it!  Our new sound system worked perfectly except when we discoved that one battery in the microphone won't last all day.  So even with the cold and the wind, everyone had successful lessons.
One "take home" message for me was how to channel energy from the inside leg to the outside leg and then to the outside rein.  This idea seems to create impulsion, connection and straightness all at the same time.
Another concept we worked on was waiting a few strides for the half halt to take full effect.  I think I was in a bit of a hurry before.
Let's hear from some of the other clinic riders:  Valerie, Barbara, Clio, Carlan, Mandi, Emee, and Leslie.
