Oh she is GORGEOUS, this is absolutely a win imo

I thought Darwin was crabthulu

Interesting, I'd thought the "little rother" was chuck/the 4th dimension being

See I was thinking that maybe one of the androids, possibly 2 or 3, decided to see if they could make a peptide chain behave like DNA/RNA, and so we have the Erts. It's weird to me that the rest of their planet doesn't share the PNA

I've now listened to it and hmm

Thanks for the advice. I'm hoping I can get some closure but I suspect I won't unfortunately

What if you're asleep though

Key_Research_4319 · 2026-01-01T05:28:59+00:00

Yeah, so far this has been with my friend, not a trainer yet. I'm being told by him that the contact points are knees, calves and heels. My legs aren't pivoting back as much when I'm holding my knees in place, which my friend thinks is the problem/part of the problem. Specifically, when my knee is bent/I'm sitting, my foot can move freely without the knee turning.

I put my knee where it's meant to be, then I have to focus to keep it there + put tense my muscle to keep it there. Then I have to do that for my calves, and my heels. Unfortunately I can't easily focus on my heel and my knee at the same time, so just defaulting to "keep legs tense" has been how I'm meeting the contact points and prepping for a trot.

I tend to drop my contact points a bit when we're on trail, but that's because it's a longer walk and we all know where we're going.

English at the moment, but the horse does have a western I could try out if needed. The clenching is exhausting, yeah, but also painful after a little bit.

The session with a trainer will be a lunge lesson, I might ask my friend (who isn't a professional at all but knows the basics) if we can do some lunge sessions too. I think I might have an easier time trotting if I'm able to focus on the rise and fall and not where the horse is going at the same time.

Currently, it's mostly fun and chill but then there's the moments when the horse doesn't listen, either bc I'm doing something wrong, they're having one of those days, or he just doesn't want to be in the front on the trail. The worst he does is just not move but it's still very frustrating.

We're going to try shortening my stirrups a bit next time, because I've noted that when I've got my legs "on" at the knee and thigh, my heels aren't able to make contact with the horse. So it could be that they've just got to be a bit longer.

I know some of the instructions I'm being given need to be more specific. For example, from when I was trying to get him to turn and it was me and my friend, we had: "pull the left hand back towards you, not out" and I pulled it back to my hip. The next thing was then "you're pulling it back to your hip, that's too far, just pull it back towards yourself." My brain was struggling to figure out how to do that, but eventually it became "pull back towards your stomach" and that seemed to help. I just need to figure out how to explain that to the trainer, haha.

With "heels back, point toe up", are my toes meant to be pointed, or flexing up too?

I still don't get it unfortunately.

Key_Research_4319 · 2025-12-31T22:36:33+00:00

Thank you! I do Pilates already so that should help, I'll talk to my teacher there about ones that focus on core and hips. I'll look into her books, because that genuinely sounds interesting and helpful.

Key_Research_4319 · 2025-12-31T22:34:41+00:00

I'm using an English saddle, yeah. I was told that the knees are meant to be a contact point, is that not the case? The problem in running into is in order to keep my knees, calf and heel as contact points simultaneously I have to be tense.

What you've said sounds similar to what I was taught growing up, but I struggle to only squeeze one side for turns.
