Shoeless hack

 nice fun hack with kelli

missing hind shoe

collapsed up front a few times... crossed front limbs weirdly... kinda neuro acting... 

but fun ride today. took it easy because of the shoe

practiced half pass and leg yield in arena at start very briefly. make sure i swoop with my seat... sit on the outside to influence the hips and use my outside seatbone and leg to push the hind end over but swoop with my seat too to use rein aids

also... learned the smile trick.

also.. in my xc lesson with lyric tonight, margaret asked about dan and said that it made her heart joyous to hear he was doing so well and that she thought the whole horse community was rooting for us. awwww... that made my day!
