i started at a new barn not too long ago, i ride every friday and i guess i'll keep you updated w/ whats been happening at my lessons and my horse life ;D. so i guess i'll start w/ last week (i'm so glad i'm going to be keeping track of this then i can look back on it in the future.  so the main highlights of my lesson last week: my trainer said that keeping my position much better , i'm more relaxed, and that i sit the canter nicely. but i turned to early, whoops. but over all it was a really great lesson and i'm excited for this week! |

this week i rode a horse named charlie, he has the bounciest trot ever! but his canter was sooooooooooooo smooth, i did really good this week. i posted w/o stirrups for the first time and my thighs are so sore today! lol. my mom has to take my sister down to purdue this friday so i think i'm going to get a private lesson! yay!!!! i hope it's on charlie, i like him a lot more than misty, but i like misty's trot better! yea, this is the first time i really got to canter a lot, misty is really hard to get into the canter. charlie is also an old man, he's 25, when he was younger he used to be ranked 7th or 8th in the nation in jumping, but obv. he can;t jump anymore b/c of his age., and i can't wait for the private lesson!

ok, i got back from horse camp and they put me in the wrong class! they put me in a walk/trot when they even saw me canter doing my test, and they never moved me! i was so pissed, anyway, while i was there i did try bareback, which was soooooooo much fun! loved it!!!!!! and i didn't do much else there. but today i had a lesson on charlie who is an ex-jumper, he's too old to jump now. and i was the only one at my lesson so i was a private lesson! so i worked on my jumping position and i cantered a lot, charlie has such a smooth canter. and i'm gaining more balance and bending my elbows more!lol, those darn elbows. and, that's about it for now

Awesome, that sucks they put you in the wrong class.
haha, I know what you mean about posting bareback. Every once in a while I'll do like 5 circles without sturups and I'm sore for days.
