Right now I know what a 20 metre circle is. So that is what was worked on today in walk and trot. Then we did this clover shaped thing that involved going over a then doing a circle (much smaller than 20 m) then over another pole to make a shape like a four leaf clover - has anyone done that?
Just one question my instructor mentioned something about a correct 20m circle takes 26 strides. Has anyone heard of that before? This is all new to me!
So it was a great lesson, leg stayed in the right place and my hands were looking better apart from some tension at times and me being confused at times over what to do with the outside and inside rein!
At the end we did a barrells so much tighter turns but lots of fun!
God this horse riding is addictive! I am going again Sunday and hope to be able to increase to being able to do two lessons a week! Its very inconvienient to have to work!
