rain you say?

Saturday morning but no lie in for us. PT arrived early and I nommed my drugs. It was drizzly. And got heavier and heavier and heavier.

PT got us field hay in nets, picked poo and sorted the barn and then sat in the car for a bit hoping the rain would stop. It didn't. Eventually she gave up, took off her soggy coat and came got me, Bee tried to get her to catch him but she wasn't having any of it. I ate some brekky tied to the gate then she towelled me off and tacked me up. My reflocked saddle felt nice.

Anyhoo, today we went to ride in half of the shelter field. We hadn't done any riding since the big fall last week but that didn't matter. We did circles and lines and walked nice and relaxed and slow. OMFG teacher ruth appeared! My head shot up and I stomped off. oops.

Today we practiced  making PT sit better. She tried very hard and I was pleased. She has to do all sorts, stand up, knees down, sit properly...i think it got a bit much and eventually her brain exploded and I got to go and graze. Jez went next with no saddle. I couldn't bare to watch but it seems they did really well. No falling off. Jez is stricter with PT and makes it clear when she is not doing something properly. Jez was pooped at the end. bracky went to see if he could go next but apparently not today. Teacher Ruth called Brack a twat!! he was not impressed.

Once the lessons were over we ran to the barn for food and hay and sleeps. very nice. PT came back at 4pm , gave the mud dogs a run and then we came out of the barn for tea and mooching. Think we all did well today. Mr Boblet asked PT why she needs lessons if she can already ride...she was never gonna win that one. he concluded that she was a crap rider and that if ponies were fit they wouldn't have problems. I'd like him to ride Brack, think they would make a good pair!
