Well after 12 lessons, learning to ride on both Buddy and Fanta. Today I was on Buddy, had asks to change back as didn't feel as settled and safe on Fanta - nice horse, but I just couldn't get the trot on her. Maybe one day I will. I felt pleased to be back with Buddy.
But todays lesson was great, Rebecca (RI) was awesome and so encouraging. First day back on Buddy, trotting and then eventually cantered. (maybe not the greatest form but.....) Awesome feeling being able to achieve this. Have another lesson on Buddy next week with Rebecca, no doubt we will be working on this again.
We also worked on trotting around arena, and doing "serpentine" across the arena. I wasn't very good at that,
Buddy kept going where he wanted, think he took advantage of me today.
Rebecca said I did very well, was so encouraging. I have a few photos, and Rebecca video'd this, will try to share same. My facebook page has the video, here is the link if it will work: https://www.facebook.com/lynda.barn...15089767435/10213115085327324/?type=3&theater
Tried to add some photos but it wont let me. Sorry. There is a cute photo with Buddy and myself, such a character with his tongue poking out.
One very happy camper tonight, that's for sure.
