So impromptu worked for us on this occasion especially as I felt like it went really well considering how long it has been since we had a flatwork lesson I am delighted. :DAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-17319061995197872082013-06-03T04:19:51.845+02:002013-06-03T04:19:51.845+02:00Yay for improvements and no new bad habits!Yay for improvements and no new bad habits!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940605561665600285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-91720948720395898762013-06-03T02:51:27.675+02:002013-06-03T02:51:27.675+02:00I am certainly happy for the direction your posts ...I am certainly happy for the direction your posts have taken, Kika was a bit of a beast when I started.
