Just have to say that I was actually quite impressed with the girls today. Some of them improved their dressage by nearly 8 percent from two weeks ago, and nearly all improved their score.
Admittedly it was pretty bad last time, but I felt kind of proud seeing some of them using the tips and hints I gave them on Friday and clocking up the points.
It was particularly nice that this one girl I fought for at the selection was placed today. She was a bit anonymous and quite stiff in her shoulders, but for some reason I felt she would be a good one to work with.
Just three weeks into the program she is showing some real improvement already, and it felt really good to see today that my gut feeling was right.
Some of the others still worry me a bit, but all in all they are a really nice group. I suppose some of them just need a bit more time.
Besides all but two got around the SJ yesterday, which was a bit of an achievement after half the group was eliminated after three refusals last time!
