Riding post!!!

Ok, i REALLY should be studying for the mid term tmr ( i have 3 hrs between class tmr!!!!)

Ok, riding lesson...
I think i've been put on beginner's ponies....

either way

I got assigned a chestunt and white pinto called Buttercup ( how much more school pony do u get? i feel the cringe)
So anyway, she was super easy to tack and up and groom. Then got on her, I was told she was very forward, not so... quite managable.
We did trotwork, no circles or diagonals though ( maybe not yet) I ndon't know. It got me thinking that this was like mid level while riding at RL is like equestrian boot camp * images Catherine going " QUIET HANDS!! Sit up!! " and cantering around in circles. But i do thinthat all the yelling, and plus seat and hands quiet stuff didnd work. I find myself really trying not to rely on the reins so much, but more on seat and legs. Although i have a major blister on my heel from those new leather boots which kind of did not help with using my lower leg today AS much as i should have.

I was also riding with super short stirrups, when we did canter work, I was pre-warned about a tendency to turn and CRAP buttercup went SCHOOL PONY on me. Which meant trying her best to turn in towards the centre, so i got unseated, had to get my shit together and work with her to just get her canter one damned round without her trying to run to the middle of the ring. Remember- be 10 steps ahead of a horses tricks if YOU know are going to pull something in that corner at H.

We did a little x cross rail at the end of the lesson too. I actually got to learn the Hunt seat position!! No rising up over and out of the saddle, just lean forward, and aI had to remember to release my hands, other than that, it seemed like a whole new approach to jumping! I really want to improve my jump!!! Just need more practice.

Honestly, lookin back on it now,im just so grateful for the chance to work at BDF, it was one of the mOST awesome, amazing, confidence-building times of my life. I was no longer just a lesson kid, i GOT to start a young horse, i GOT to work with a driver short-listed for the World equestrian games in combined driving!! I GOT to ride for free for 6 weeks!!

I may not be the best rider or horseperosn in the world, but I know where I stand, and how farr ive come. I have further to go, but i am happy.
