TW said that its a good idea to try really hard to push on and be brave. The wind nearly spoiled the fun today but TW said it was ok and we would still like a lesson please so off we went . The sun was shining but the wind was howling but I wasnt really fussed. I like lessons.
Firstly we practised walking round the track and not spooking at the stuff in the corners. Then we did trotting and making sure I went where TW said. Apparently I'm looking nice and forward at the moment and doing very well. Next we practised working off the track on a middling circle and flexing very slightly to the inside. I found this much easier on the right rein but the people in the fields behind distracted me a bit. It's confusing learning to flex, half halts on the outside rein don't mean stop but stay out and inside rein just means bend my neck a bit. Hmmmmm. I did good though.
There were two naughty horses cavorting behind me at one point, pulling on each others rugs and galloping and bucking. TW hadn't noticed them so I stopped and have them a shout! Oi stop it I'm trying to learn!! Ten they ran off and I could get back down to it. Next we cantered , this time I was better on the left rein. It's interesting cos this is what Etti said when she checked my muscles. We finished off by doing a whole line of poles down the centre line twice while another horse with a lightening bolt on his bum joined me. Phew. Loved it! I got lots of nice comments from everyone :)
Then it was back to the yard for some grub then back out with my buds. They were so jealous. Bracky started wrestling with me as soon as I'd had my drink!
