clinic day 2

Well, I feel really sick now, but had enough of a break from it to ride better today. Sadly, there isn't much video (a nice lady shot some stuff but they are mostly short warm up clips with Trudi going BLEEEEH). Bent tightened my cavesson like 3 holes, and said it was still loose. Trudi was like "But I don't like it snug..." She got over it pretty quickly though and was totally fine.
We did some baby collection stuff in the trot- "Slow. Slower. SLOWER..." We did get a few steps here and there of some actual collection, in between the walking and the fussing. After a couple laps of this each way she got to do lenghtenings, and she was much happier. Canter today was fast, but we didn't do any warmup beforehand and she's not usually balanced till we do a half dozen canter transitions, so while it would have been nice to show a better canter today, I know it's there and I'm not too concerned.
Overall impression from Bent is that I need to keep her rounder and ask for more, which is cool, I'm just not always sure how much more- but the sessions are kind of a guideline.
Amusing insight of the day-
Trudi: "Huh? Whazzat? Whazzat? Huh? Ooooh, whazzat?"
Bent: "She's like a puppy. You can't keep her attention."
Pretty much Trudi in a nutshell.
