Riding lesson #12

Yesterday we:

- Warmed up (doing quarter turns, halts etc.)
- Trot (rising, sitting, sitting w/ out stirrups)
- AN exercise where there are cones, and poles, and you go down the quarter line, and over poles, and then do a  quarter turn. We did this at the walk and trot
- Free trot
- Leg yields

This class wasn't as exciting, but we learned lots of valuable stuff!

I rode Bliss! YAY! He was calmer, and better behaved. I also learned he is a Morab (Morgan, Arab)

I rode a gorgeous gelding named Bliss (he has some Arabian in him), he is flighty, and a bit hot but such a sweetie! He tried to eat me foot! LOL I love him so much, and i know that is the kind of horse i would buy. He is bouncy but not to bad if you have rode Kris a fjord Arabian cross who bounces you up and out!
