i tried out the new RS today for my 2nd lesson back and it was fantastic. The school is gorgeous and both the indoor and outdoor schools are fantastic (we used both as it started to chuck it down half way though). The RI was so good and it was so professional, I had to fill in a registration form and then they checked my hat to see it was the right standard and fit. I got asked what size horse i would like and if i would like something wizzy or less forward going or a total plod. I opted for the mid range and got a gorgeous chestnut 14.2 hh pony who was beautiful and was so well schooled in a lovely outline and working from the back and i instantly felt at home with him and all my nerves went. I even managed canter this week, albeit a little bouncy and lost my stirrup on one go but i wasn't scared or anything. RI has said i rode really well and in a couple of weeks i can move up to the group who are walk, trot, canter and jumping as she said i will be more than ready.
So i am really pleased i decided to try the new school and i feel on top of the world right now. Hubby was going to take some pictures but it started raining and he wouldn't get the camera out so will have to wait till another week.
