Horsemanship: Posture

I’m working on my own posture now. Putting my shoulderblades together, which of course sticks out my chest, which is something I have avoided. That and my back is really weak so holding my shoulders back gets tiring really quickly.

I also seem to be thinking about stopping too much and tend to take a larger step when I am about to stop, which confuses Maggie. So I worked without her on Wednesday (Tuesday Deb couldn’t make lessons.)

Despite it being hard, I am enjoying it. Not always thrilled to get up in the morning, but once I get there my mood improves. The next step is working on losing weight and getting in better shape. Of course it won’t be easy, but after the doctor’s appointment tomorrow that I need to not forget, it’s my next goal.
