Have found another advantage to pregnancy aside from the ability to queue jump and be garunteed a seat on the train 
Took Chompy put for a hack yesterday and because the roads are still icy it was mainly in walk, I've always had a problem with my legs creeping forward and opening my pelvis enough for them to hang down correctly and wrap around, especially on a wide horse like Chomps... despite my instructor showing me in just about every lesson by physically putting my legs where they are supposed to be... well during the hack they just went there naturally and suddenly I had a lightbulb moment go off in my head of "Aha! thats it!" and for the first time ever I could feel and understand what was meant be the description of 'hugging your horse up into trot'
Obviously all the hormones that loosen off the pelvis are starting to work and I can for the 1st time ever properly wrap my legs around my horse... if I can keep riding and practicing the feel for the next month, hopefully I will be able to retain it afterwards.
