Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Rider's Seat
J. at her vaulting lesson. Here she's practicing her basic seat.
Marcy asked her to get herself organized up on Irish Draft Shakespeare's back, and then requested that she sing. It took a few moments for her to remember a song and then to work up the nerve to do it, but she began with a barely audible Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and by the end of the session was belting it out as Shakespeare trotted around and around the twenty-meter circle. Funny how the louder she sang, the more she unhinged her hips, the less tense she was, held the abdomen lightly, breathed in her upper body, and sat. She was glued to the pad.
Pretty cool.
