Well another few lessons have passed, still persevering. Now on Fanta, little smaller than Buddy and a little pocket rocket when she decides to get going.
Today had private lesson, was pouring when I got to the stables, so Rebecca (RI) and I chatted about the weather, waiting for storm to pass. (having really bad weather in South Australia at present). Then Rebecca got me to help tack Fanta up, learn all her foibles - what Fanta likes and doesn't like.
Then we headed to the arena (outdoor), a very wet arena. Rebecca knew that I needed to have time to get used to Fanta, so she had decided we would do some basic work, which was good. Even taught me how to get Fanta to move on the spot, moving her hind around. And I managed to do it myself, even got video. So will see if I can put that up here.
At least that's a positive, and have made the next few lessons private ones on Fanta so I can work on keeping my balance on her trot, and eventually work on cantering. Steadily going forwards.
I wanted to put a picture up, and/or even little video clip but am not sure how. Anyone able to give me some hints how to do this please?
