I can't do the "Heidi Braid" because I can't fit the braided hair (on top of my head) under my helmet. My helmet BARELY fits my head, so there is no room at all for hair. <br /><br />I may try something like this: http://www.dressage-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/helens-hair-3276.jpg.

They are so similar in their way of going! Poor Paddy was certainly a distracted little boy... I know that feeling!<br />I didn't think the second test was THAT bad, his canter transitions were good and it looked like a brisk canter rather than a bolt (i've done the bolt, it looks a lot worse than yours). <br />At the end, when he offered you a canter in the corner just before coming back up the centre line, it looks to me like he had switched back on to you... four minutes too late of course...<br />Looking forward to the next installment :-)Martinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661154808535946601noreply@blogger.com
