Sunday....
Worked more on collection, but also worked on stopping correctly. The two are tied together and if she is collected the stop will be there. When stopping correctly I would ask her to hold her frame and come to a stop, at a walk to start with, and stop when her front end is off the ground. The causes her to break in the middle. As a rider, I should be holding myself up (high energy) and relax (picture a balloon deflating, in fact that is what I do...blow my air out) while pushing down with my body. Still very reactionary, but wet saddle blankets and patience will help to correct that.
