I am becoming a proper english rider!

Today I tacked up Willie and rode for about 30 minutes. Guess what I did?!
I did rising trot for 15 minutes! I can rise to the trot! Yay! Small accomplishment for most, but I've been riding western for four years, so its all new to me. Plus I did it properly, rose without using my legs to push me up.

Anyway, extremely happy!

Will get a video of me riding Willie sometime, I never really show him off, Gitch usually gets all the spotlight.

Yayyy! I took western lessons for a year and was dying to post!! They wouldn't let me! Well done with Willie boy!

Awww well done! Rising trot is easy when you get the hang of it
How long have you been riding english?

I've been riding english for about a month. I started off english when I was nine though, I was a very good little rider back then, so I hope all that comes back to me!
