Issue 53

Today I watched the October 2010 Savvy Club DVD.  I was particularly interested in the segment with Linda on the Figure 8.  I have been trying to figure out the best way to play that pattern with Kjarda since we started.  But with Kjarda, once she has done something well, she doesn't want to be bothered with it.  So, I have been wracking my brain to figure out how to get her to want to canter the figure 8 on the 45' line and give me a flying change.  As of the end of the summer, I had finally come to the conclusion that starting with less ends up with more.  And watching the episode today with Linda was the confirmation that I was on the right track.  I'm excited to go downlake next week and see how Kjarda reacts to the "new" me and my approach to this pattern.  Stay tuned!
