After yesterday's super activity of course there was only one way to spend a sunny Sunday. According to TW this was having a lesson! Who's would have guessed?
Off we went in the box , got ready and into the school. Holiest of molies!! There were huge colourful jumps everywhere. I got a bit excited! Walked one way. Lovely teacher said I was looking sparky! Her and TW talked in glowing terms about what a good boy I am. Then we changed the rein.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! There was the most scariest thing ever in the corner. A white dressage board, some wood and a spotty purple filler. IT was terrifying. I spooked. I span. Didnt work. I spooked. I ran backwards. And repeat a few times. When all else fails how about a buck? I probably shouldn't have bothered. My special spookiness and possibly slight naughtiness resulted in us spending the next however long practising flexing and circles in the scary corner over a pole. And the figure of eights. Phew.
After a bit we did some trotting and some more poles. Then cantering and more poles. TW was shattered. By the end I was shattered. It was a good lesson though. Shame we didnt get to jump. Maybe next time. Lovely instructor said I had been a toad at times but I'm still a very good boy.
It was nice to get back out in the field with y buds though. TW had a man come to take away some poo for his garden. I helped escort him round the field. Oh and TW also did some sheath cleaning in the middle of the village. Hope no one was watching!
