Hi all
I have just started learning to ride (had my second lesson on Saturday) and am really loving it so far!
I just had a couple of questions:
1) I appreciate that I am going to ache as I am building muscles that I have never used in this way before however, is it normal to bruise? I have noticed that I have bruising on my inner thighs and inner knees and they are quite sore for several days!
2) How do you stop the pony/horse from cutting the corners? I seem not to be able to get the pony I have been riding to go round two of the corners - it is worst whilst trotting but even during walking i cant get him to do it every time. I also have a problem keeping him trotting - though I found a very helpful post about that on here
Thank you in advance for any help - I am new to everything having never ridden before and am very appreciative
