Having a riding lesson today - i ride the same horse each time and my instructor is one of the best i have had - he always is positive and helpful. I am a very nervous rider and am scared - i ride because my daughter and grand daughter ride and i want to have this time with them. He says i don't look scared - but I am! I do concentrate on what he tells me and it helps me when i ride other times as i feel more confident. I mostly learn trot and different techniques and he has me do a little canter.
