So I finally had my first lesson yesterday and it was AWESOME!! My trainer said that I did very well, and that she was very happy to have me training with her. I didn't do much, just tried to work on getting familiar with "kid." She put us on the lunge line, and was working with my balance and steering at the walk and trot. After a while I finally started to get the hang of it. She's starting me out ridin on hills, that way when I move into the arena it will be much eaiser for me because i'd have already learned how to ride on the toughest terrain. Im glad that I did well; Brian said he was proud of me which made me very happy. No pics yet, maybe on Tuesday, which is my next lesson, and LORI will be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!

Dressage Lesson.. take ONE
So I was supposed to have my first dressage lesson today, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to my lesson horse training super hard for the upcoming show. Oh well, guess I'll start on Thursday. Sorry nothing to report on it. I was pretty bummed (still am), but I'll just keep watching videos on youtube to get myself pumped up for the first lesson......!

Preparation H-ORSE
Howdy! Tomorrow I start my Dressage lessons. I'll be doing 2 lessons a week to start. I just got all of my gear today, which cost me roughly $400 bucks (and thats just for beginning training stuff)! I got my paddock boots, half-chaps, helmet, riding gloves, socks (zocks), and my breechers (very tight riding pants). I'm debating putting a picture of me in my gear up, because I look like a total goof! I'll try to post video and pics as often as possible, but honestly it took me FOR-EVER to figure out how to set this up! :) Well, I guess that's it for now..... thanks for reading!
(once I think of a good sign-off I'll use it)
