>>>> Cary is doing a terrific job with him and I noticed in the video that he is really working to stay in 'neutral' and not sit on his pockets. Looks really good.
Oh, thanks, I forgot to mention that the first time. The phrase that Sue Falkner March (at your Centered Riding clinic) used that was so effective for Cary was, "zip your jacket." I say that to him occasionally - not really very often - and he immediately sits up straight, without being too stiff. Such a simple thing, but it works! He has trouble with his hips and knees, so his legs still tend to stay slightly in front of him, but since he's so much more aware of his upper body position now, I don't think it's a huge deal. Besides, I'm so old and banged up myself, who am I to lecture?! :) Karen Thomas, NC
