i`m new`

[hollyjoy80]

I`m doing this so I can check in and give my updates as time goes bye!! I started lessons 3 weeks ago and im really excited about that. My first lesson I was on Brandy, he is sooo sweet, I love him, the second time I was on Champ.... I was a bit on edge with him because he seemed like he never wanted to do it and wanted to go in the barn and rest....so needless to say I never even went as far as to trot with him, I just walked...well he bucked a few times and I though I herd some one say he was a bit mean at times....so I got unhappy with that and so I made him unhappy, o my I will not let some ones opinion scare me next time...and its funny all the research you do, you can still end up a bit scared or unsure...I was unsure... any who, other then my uneasiness it would have been a great ride.
I really want to learn every thing I can, I only ever done trail and back yard riding, saddle and NO saddle, but I never ridden on an English one till that day either and it was a lot different to me then a western one ... `ill stop, and resume in a few months on this...

[hollyjoy80]

Oh and the worst part ahhaha, I put his Halter over his bridle hahahaha, I only did that once and with the help of Maria, then when I was out in the rink getting up on the saddle I never had it on tight enough ahahahha, so ya it was fun, I was even late for my lesson do to a paint truck going 10km up the high way so roted about that..... <3 .

[Erin ♥]

That's Josie that you're talking about!
Was that your 3rd lesson ever? Because it's kind of strange that you're cantering when it's only your 3rd lesson ever. :S
Anyway, glad you're having fun!
