Thought I would sneak out in the sunshine for a ride today, should really be working, but never mind eh? :D
Unfortunately the 10.15 WTC lesson with Hayley I usually go for on a Thursday (because I am often the only one riding) was cancelled today because the college girls were having their assessments in the outside school.
So I decided to go for the 9.45 WTC with Gilly - three other riders.
I was on Hovis again and he was such a good boy for me, when it was our turn to trot and canter round the school he did exactly what I asked, when I asked and we had the best canter yet out of him - even when he got onto the wrong canter lead he dropped back to trot and off on the right lead within a couple of steps.
One of the other riders was recommended to move onto riding Hovis as he is a "difficult" horse - this and Gilly's comments at the end of the lesson made me realise how far I have come on over the last few weeks.
What a good day! :cool: - roll on next Wednesday - I hope to be riding Ziggy again in a private lesson outside so will be able to warm him up and get some good work out of him, he is more balanced than Hovis & Tetley so hopefully he won't trip over the canter poles!
