So I haven't posted in a while. But everything's been AWESOME :)
Let's see.....the last time I blogged was whn I rode Champion. The next week I rode Aragon :) We had a cool lesson - warmed up dressage and then jumped. I rode him again the next week and had basically the most random lesson EVER. Haha it was great...
Somewhere in between those, I had a free ride with Splash. We worked on some bending stuff, and then lead changes. He was good, but basically, this was my BEST RIDE EVER. Seriously. Splash was PERFECT, I thought I rode really well, and it really gave me a confidence boost. When I finish the video I'll post it...
The week after, I had a dressage lesson on Murphy to practice my test for the show on Firday that I rode Splash in and tied for 3rd....I was actually REALLY happy with him. He was great :)
Then last weekend I had an AWESOME jumping lesson on Giraffe. Keri taught again and we did grids - bounce to a one-stride. At the end we set up a hay-bale jump :P Giraffe was really good and I felt like my position was REALLY improving. Lately I've been having a lot of confidence issues in the jumping area, and this lesson really helped me. I even got some compliments on my position from my instructor xD I couldn't have had a better lesson :)
I'm not having a lesson this weekend because of a show that I'm going to - I'm not riding in it, but I'm being a groom for the girl taking Hank - so the next time I ride will probably be in 2 weeks. Hopefully I can get out during the week sometime...but that seems to be really hard for me right now :(
