What is the difference between direct line thinking and focus? .....Flexibility!
It's important to build on the positive so always finish a session on a good note and start the next session where you left the day before.
Start and finish on the pattern. So for instance if you are going to play in the arena, don't fart around, go straight to the rail. Then when you have finish soak up on the rail, just hang there for a while.

Simulation for day 2:
Circle with change of direction:
When your horse pass y our shoulder, turn in the direction of the movement and adjust your belly button so that it is just behind your horse in z5. If you want to do a change of direction at 12 o clock on the circle, start drawing at 11 o'clock. When your horse thinks forward towards you then re send in the other direction. Start at the walk.
Falling leaf:
At the walk and stationary. Disengage just b4 9 o'clock and 3 o' clock, pause, then send in the other direction. Once this pattern is establish, do it at the walk, walking in a straight line.
Reflection of day 2:
I learn where to put my weight when doing HQ disengagement. On the fore leg that is going to pivot!
When you pick up your reins, even in a hackamore, use the same as on line: Feel for, feel with, feel together.
Key point: You can't do too much follow the rail. USE THE RAIL TO BE YOUR HANDS SO THAT YOUR HANDS CAN BECOME THE RAIL!
