Okay , i had a good lesson yester day. i rode Dante <3 we rode in the little arena because the big one was way to muddy. we warmed up by doing some halt transitions and some trot. We worked on not leaning in on our circles at a trot then at canter we did that a few times then we cooled out bareback  it was alot of fun |

My lesson today was so much fun. I rode Dante again! Maria tought us because Ange was busy so we had a fun lesson we warmed up ( in the big arena) with some walk halt transitions and some circles and bit of trot then we moved to the small arena because it wasnt as muddy as the big one was. When we went into the small arena we played bumper ponies. The most fun game in the world! lol . ( you have to grab the pilion that was on top of the barrel the quickest and it didnt matter how you got it ..like you could walk, trot or canter and cut people off it sounds like madness but its awsome  ) Anyways after that we did some barrel racing at walk trot, then canter then we did down and back in trot then canter then our ponies were so excited when we went for a last canter large they all broke into a hand gallop it was so much fun......Oh and there are some pictures in picture place |

Well i just had my lesson and it was snowing soo much! i could barely see. Anyways ...i rode Dante a we warmed up with some halt transitions and circles and trot ,practicing two-point and half seat. Then Ange set up a jump couarse for us to do We tryed it the first time and Dante kept on refusing!!! then after i gave him a hard correction he smartend up and went over the jump we did that for a while then added on another jump and he refused that a dozen of times to then we finally got over it. He was such a crooked boy! One attempt to go over the jump he stoped blank infront of it then he desided that he wanted to jump over it so i flew on to his neck but luckly i didnt fall off i was almost there though . Then after all that we cooled out bareback to get our bums all warmed up then heded inside ...all in all it was a pretty good lesson . |

My computer was being to slow yesterday to do anything on it so i'll have to tell you about my lesson now . Well, i rode Beuno. it was the best time i ever rode him! hes was absultly amasing compared to the last time i rode him. Anyways... we warmed up with some walk, trot and halt transitions, circles and serpintines..and i practiced my two-point. then during our lesson we were supposed to jump be we found out that the ground we a bit to hard on the horses feet. So we just went over them as poles on the ground at trot then canter. Then since we couldnt jump them Angela told us to take off our saddles , and that we were going barback. I thought this was going to be horrible because i've heard lot of stories of people who had some bad falls off beuno bareback. But it turned out he was awsome! definitly the most comphy horse i have ever ridden bare back! after we got on again we just went over the poles on the ground where the jumps were supposed to be, bareback then we cooled out for about 7 mins then we went in . I was soooo proud of him!

I had a private lesson today and i rode Angelas horse Max !!! He was amasing definitly something i could get used to Anyways jess tought me, and since the arena was a mess ( every step he would take the snow would build up in his hoof and eventually every 5 minutes he had glaciers in his hoofs. and it was way to hard to canter on ) we worked on bending to the inside and outside without going right to the inside/outside of the arena ( its a little bit hard to explain) then we changed direction and did it in that that way. After that we did some trot in both diretions.His trot is absulutly(sp?) gorgeous. the i cooled out for about 10 mins, went inside, brushed him , put on his blanket and brought him back to his paddock, then i gave him a big pat because he was so good for my first time ever riding a thoroughbred |

My lesson today was so much fun. I rode Max again!! we warmed up with some walk halt transitions then trot and we practied two-point but the horses didnt have their winter studs yet so it was to risky to do any canter. soo...After we warmed up we went on a 20 meter circle and then we did it a few times at a walk the at a trot then we did two-point for a lap around the arena about 5 times each and thats pertty much it . Very fun though, Max is a babe! then we cooled out in the deep snow and went inside, i brushed him , put on his blanket and put him back outside! but before that i gave him two sugar cubes, he was so good for me ! |
