sitting trot, and lots of visualizations...

Did almost all my lesson in the sitting trot today, working on activating my core muscles, bearing down into my seat to regulate speed when necessary and sitting on my seat bones. Another concept that really helped was to think about activating my thigh muscles to hold, not pinch. It's a fine line between the two, though! Got some really good trot work from these little position changes. Also got good trot-canter transitions, although it's hard for me to hold that position in the canter right now.
