This Saturday, I had the most wonderful riding lesson. It didn't start of t0o good. My one hour hack was with Ernie a 7 year old, 16.5h horse. He was nervous at the start due to some guy revving his engine loudly and me being nervous because he kept pulling his head down. This made me nervous too so I started singing. As we rode round the patk he kept putting his head down a lot so I did the squeeze finger thing, alternatively which would make him stop.
When we went back to school for 1 hour lesson, I kept squeezing the fingers alternatively as we did walk. He would stop putting his head down but would lean on the bit..a bit more squeezes and his head would lighten!! It was great. His head was no longer in the clouds or on the ground. My happiest moment was when my instructur said that My walk was very good, Ernie was in the right outline!! I could have shouted with Glee!!! Instead I smiled and secretly thanked Heather.
It is a such a joy that!!!!
