Damn That Hip October 22, 2008

I had my lesson with Cindy yesterday, and everything went really well until…my hip fatigued. I’ve been working very hard on my position lately, and part of that includes getting my right hip “unstuck”. I tend to collapse it, and since it’s my dominant side, it nearly has a will of its own. About 35-minutes into the lesson, I couldn’t get the hip open anymore. Man, I feel so old.
So I’m in search of some hip flexibility and strengthening exercises. I ordered two DVD’s on Yoga for Equestrians. I’m hoping that will lend some insight.
Tigger was fabulous, as usual. We were working on shoulder-in when I lost the right hip. Once that went he was confused as to where to be. I backed off to something simpler so that he could end on a “win”.
Argh. I am definitely feeling like I need to play a little catch-up to my horse.
