had a lesson today(with piccies!)

[notpoodle]

my first lesson since christmas to be precise! and the first one at the new yard!! the instructor was a bit too optimistc about my riding though .... we had a go at all sorts of stuff from legyielding out of a circle to walk-canter transitions!!

it was just me and two ever so competent teenagers in the lesson, i was by far the worst of the lot i think, ho-hum!

BUT i got really useful tips on improving my leg position, discovered muscles i didnt know i had (ouch!) and angel went well i think!

i need to get her (more) off the forehand though and get her to work from behind more rathet than just hurtling along!

im hoping to do a lesson a month now and will practise inbetween :)

heres us trying to keep up with the big ones

Nice pics how tall is angel. She's pretty :)

hehe the question should be 'how SMALL is angel' :D

she's 12.3, the other horses are big warmbloods, making angel look tiny :D

Excellent pics - sounds like you did really well! :D

angel did very well considering we had never even attempted some of the stuff we were asked to do! she seemed quite keen to give it a go :)
