Wow. I REALLY need to get better at this!

So sorry for not having posted anything for like... ever! This is why I have so many journals with only the first few pages filled in, I'm horrible at this. Anyway, I still don't have pics from my actual lessons yet. I've been going during the week while Brian's at work, which leaves no one to take any pics! hopefully I'll be getting some shortly though. The lessons have been going well. I have improved for sure. Balance is getting better, sholders are getting sore-er. That means I'm doing it RIGHT!!! HA! Pam is hoping to have me showing by the end of the year. She says I'm going to "be a star!" I can only hope.

Thanks for readin'!

Easter at the Barn.

So my hubby had to spend Easter working, so I hung out with Tori and Susan at the barn all day yesterday! We had a blast! I got to ride Joe (in a western saddle) and Cash (in an english saddle). So far I have only had ONE lesson, but because of it I did 100% better riding yesterday! My form was practically perfect, my posting was great, I didn't lose my footing  and I kept my heels down and my head up! But most of all,  I WASN'T AFFRAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's a HUGE deal for me... I felt like I did when I used to ride, confident, relaxed and in control!!  THANK YOU PAM!!!!!!

horseshoe hang-up

So I was supposed to have another lesson today. Got out there and just got done grooming Kid, was picking his feet, and saw that he had a nail popping out of his shoe. Pam had to clip the nail and put kid in his stall. Oh well, I'll have a lesson sometime this week, then on my birtday next sunday. Cant wait!! make sure you're following Lori's journey on her blog!!! im so proud of her!

On the Rocks

First Lesson!

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......!
