Hacking out this weekend I stumbled across something that I've never noticed before. And of course once you notice something it becomes even more apparent and you notice it more and more! I'm not sure if its me the way I sit or Eddie. And I hope its not a problem (physical I mean).
I went into trot and it felt slightly uncomfortable - I thought for a second that Eddie was a bit uneven. Asked S to watch her, not a problem and moving normally. So trotted again, felt completely normal. Next time, same uncomfortableness. If I hadn't noticed it the first time though, I wouldn't have second time round but you know what its like when you're looking for a problem. This continued throughout the hack, sometimes normal, other times I just felt slightly more unbalanced I guess is what the feeling was. I then realised what was causing the difference - Eddies trot diagonal. Sitting on the left leg back was more comfortable that the right leg back. So do you think its me or her? What would be the reason? I can appreciate that schooling there may be a difference as balance is different, but this was going in a straight line.
It was most bizarre. I say it wasn't a big difference, just something that once I'd noticed once I kept on noticing!
