Last lesson for two weeks

[raingodz]

So today's lesson was the last for two weeks :(

But for my last lesson I got to ride my favorite Muddle (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f192/raingodz/cowley/muddle6.jpg) :D

I got there nice and early (as I usualy do :rolleyes: ) at 7:45, help put the feeds out in to the empty stalls and then we all headded off to get the horses in from the field. I got Daisy in, picked her feet out and then groomed her, then I got to groom Muddle. I think that most of the helpers there now know that I like to groom the horse I'm going to be riding :)

Our lesson went well, we did trot and canter work, and then did quite a bit of work on leg yealds first in rising trot and then in sitting trot. And finaly some halt, walk, trot transition work. Not much to report other than it was a nice lesson :) I then stayed on for a while and lead Cammy (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f192/raingodz/cowley/cammie1.jpg), who is a sweet little appaloosa (I wish I was small enough to ride her :o) for a girl who was having her first ever lesson. She seemed to pick things up really well, and she liked Cammy too so we go on well :)

Tommorrow the horses go on holiday for two weeks (can't remember if they said they were trotting off to Ibiza or just the field down the road).

I was worried that I would not get to ride for two weeks, but I'm off back to Murthwaite Green (http://www.murthwaitegreen.co.uk/) for another beach ride :D

I went up to the RS today and helped take the horses on holiday which involved walking 12 of them about a mile down the road to a fresh field and turning them out together. It was great to see them running round the new field that will be their home for the next two weeks :)

And yes I'm sure I'll enjoy my beach ride, I did last time :)

I know :eek: but oddly I have no problem getting up at 6:45 on Saturday but I have trouble getting up at 8:00am for work :rolleyes:

but 7:45 means that they can be got in, fed (so they have over an hour to digest their food before working) and groomed in time for the 10:00am lesson. I usually have to groom 3 horses in an hour so they can all be ready, although if there is pleanty of helpers I'll only have to do two.

I think ours come in at 6am, but Im never there for that part!
