It seems likeyou may have the same problem that I have. You sort of strive to meet the teachers expectations. Most teachers actually push you because they want to know when yo'll tell them you've had enough. Some others are jerks and will still push but thats another story. I would simply explain...

You've gotten a lot of really great suggestions so far! My first recommendation would be to work without stirrups on the flat at all three gaits. When you can post (no, it won't be pretty) for a whole minute or so, you'll have tons of the right muscles and balance to help keep you secure...

Someone told me that there's a Greg Best clinic taking place the first weekend of September in Westlake, TX. I can't find anything to confirm it. It's supposed to be at a barn called Silver Oaks. I've searched the Web using that barn's name, but nothing comes up. I've tried to...
