Thought Hovis & I would be in the indoor school this morning for our "group" lesson but there was another lesson in there so we were up in the rubber school all on our own :) (and it was a free lesson for me too - so effectively a private lesson for free :D )
Well a very exciting lesson indeed - Hayley decided to turn into a machine gun, barking orders in rapid succession - walk, trot, halt, trot, halt, trot, walk, trot, canter, trot, canter, trot for 2 back into canter, walk, trot, canter, trot, walk, halt, trot, halt, trot, canter - and all this in ONE circuit of the manège!! :eek:
It had both Hovis and I totally unprepared for each transition, but it was great! It just shows how the aids are becoming natural and I don't have to think about what I am doing - I just do it. :rolleyes:
We ended up with some nice fast canters as I pushed him on - the faster he goes the easier it is too sit to - and Hayley was shouting "Go Hovis, GO!"
He is such a good boy, I am getting really fond of him now ;)
