3rd Lesson update

[Justie B52]

Hi folks

I had another great lesson with my lovely instructor Joleen. Did more 20M circles lots of trot & canter work. But now we're working on the diagonals
(she did have to explain it all though :rolleyes: ) Once she's explained it, it was ok & I don't think I made any huge mistakes.

At the end of the lesson I asked Joleen about my hands & why she hadn't said anything yet. I was well chuffed when she said she didn't need to say anything as they're fine :D

My seat was loads better and my leg position felt better too so I feel I'm actually improving with each lesson.

Legs & bum don't hurt at all this evening so that's a massive improvement too :D

Wednesday next week for the next lesson.

Well done Justie! :) And well done on the hands. I had my lesson today and we had to pretend I was holding mugs of tea :rolleyes: Always the way, I try to concentrate on something only to find something else goes to pot. Canter was great today, hands were crap :rolleyes:

Sounds like a good lesson anyway, and no aches?! Nice one :)

Hey Madmum!

Holding a mug is a good one....I'll remember that one...Maybe that's why my hands are ok, cos I've alwasy got a cuppa on the go! :D

Glad your lesson went well too, when's the next one? What happened with the loan horse? ( Sorry, really tired tonight & I can't remeber his name :( )

Chat soon

Thats OK, I'm knackered too, was up at 6 :(

I had a laugh today, my instructor had me trotting without my stirrups, told me to imagine full cups of tea in each hand, and weights on my heels... I said its a wonder I can ride at all with all this stuff I've got up here with me ;)

I had a chat with her about the loan horse, she reckons it will do me the world of good. She's confidence I can handle it, so thats made me feel much better cos I was starting to get really nervous about the whole thing. Its tomorrow afternoon I go to try him. Expect a full and no doubt long update tomorrow evening ;)
