three for three!

I have officially had three FANTASTIC rides in a row on Snow. The first one was when I realized I WAS FINE. The second, I pushed it. I was fine, time to get back down to business. So we trotted and trotted and trotted and then we went left (normally a HUGE ordeal). Then we did loads of serpentines/figure-eights/direction changes. All in all, it went VERY well! Yesterday I had a lesson on her, which marked fantastic ride number three. More trot work that went very well, and then we cantered both ways. And THEN we did some turn on the forehand! I’m SO excited!!

Homework is to canter canter canter – five or six laps, both ways – every day.

Anna has been going very well too. She’s starting to come back into shape (again), and is feeling much better and more balanced. Haven’t had a lesson on her yet, but my homework is to SIT BACK (even though I’m riding her in my hunt seat saddle).
