Radar as a furry exercise machine...

Yesterday I got on and was really tight and sore, so my lesson really consisted of me focusing on giving the right kind of leg aids to protect my muscles (thinking of an upward leg aid instead of just closing my legs tighter helps a lot) and keeping Radar as long and low (ha! Radar as long is kind of an oxymoron, but long for him) and maintaining an even pace while working a bit on getting off of my left seat bone. It was actually a good ride for both of us, sometimes you kind of need these kinds of relaxing-yet-still-productive rides.
