I'm very pleased with myself, as after a few and bad, and a few not-good-not-bad lessons, i was getting a bit down. But today i had a reall y good lesson. My horse listened to me, all the time apart from 1 or two times. I also am getting better at squeezing with my lower legs, as opposed to kicking with my heels. Also, my RI introduced me to trotting poles, which to be honest I was scared of because of a bad experience where the horse I was riding Jumped over some trotting poles. Anyway, I got through those really well

:p SO I'm really happy :D YEY

Brilliant! Well done :) I just had one of those great lessons too. I get stuck at one level and find it difficult to move up a gear, but its great when it all clicks, or an instructor says something differently and everything clicks into place and you can just feel yourself improving there and then :)

Yeh, today ev erything just clicked, like using my legs to direct the horse instead of the reins hehehe Now I've just got to sort out my position :D
 
Great isn't it

I had a great lesson today too. have struggled with canter for weeks, just couldn't get more than 2-3 strides. Today it clicked and I suddenly went completely relaxed for some reason, sat up and thought I'm paying for this, I need to do it! I managed 2 circuits and only stopped because my lesson was over. I feel great after that. And my instructor was amazed! Trouble is I have no idea how I did it! Glad to hear you are doing well, we are doing trotting poles soon:eek: There's nothing beats the feeling when riding goes well.
