| | I don't think it gets in the way of communicating with the horse. What gets in my way is my aspie perfect or fail mentality. The trainer at the farm where I am now is amazing at reminding me not to over think. She is always telling me that my position is correct and that I know enough to stay safe with the pony I ride, so "just ride". When I stop worrying if my toes are out more that 45 degrees, or if my knee angle is right, or if my feet are in the perfect position in the irons, etc. I remember the joy of riding. Communication with the pony, Star, is much easier when I let myself be imperfect and I trust her. I have noticed that she corrects me. If she' crooked, i'm crooked so I fix my hip and on we go. If she's tight in her jaw she's telling me to relax. I take a deep breath and become like a sack of potatoes in the saddle. She gives me a perfect canter transition next time I ask. I'm learning to let go of my perfectionism and allow that amazing silent communication come back and I've been having a wonderful time.
Do you ride at home or at a boarding stable? I think riding alone a lot allowed me to dwell too much on the perfect or fail thing. When I started back with my trainer, and riding with others, I've been able to let go of that a lot more.
