Last Post from the Tehachapi Show

A photo from last August's Tehachapi Show

Really.  This is the last post about Sunday's show.  I am doing other horsey stuff, but three things in particular struck me after watching the videos of my tests, and I wanted to write about them.  This photo is NOT from the show.  It's from LAST year.  I didn't get a still shot from this show to show as a comparison, so you'll have to re-watch the video for that.  With that, here are the three things I noticed:

The first thing that caught my eye was my leg position.  It's much better today than it was last summer.  From the video I can see that now I have a much straighter leg and my feet are flatter without the high heel/low toe seen here.

The video also shows that I am starting to bend my elbows.  I still don't have that lovely straight line from bit to elbow, but it's certainly better now than it was last summer.  Notice my zombie arms.

The third thing that has improved is my upper body.  Last summer I was still allowing Speedy to tip me forward which caused me to have a closed angle at my pelvis.  I saw in the video that I am sitting up much taller and opening my pelvis more.

My body position is still not perfect.  But I can definitely see some improvement.  If you missed the video from Sunday's show.  You can see Test C down below.
