Hey guys!!! (and girls) Sorry i missed a couple more lessons!!!!. :)
Today was a fantastic lesson! Dandy and me are definitely getting along better!
We started with flexion, and walking on a looser rein. Then we moved on to rounding the horse at the trot. Dandy is fantastic as flexion, and he gets pretty round when you ask.
I have definitely gotten better at keeping my heels down, and that means I don't bounce out of the saddle like that day when I almost fell off.
We also did flexing and rounding at the sitting trot without stirrups. I always worry that Dandy is going to spook or something, and because I don't have stirrups I am going to bounce off haha. We started with approaching a jump on the long side at a trot, and going over it with a halt at the end of the arena. Dandy got pretty excited after the jump but I was able to get a beautiful square halt at the end! We went around again at the canter, and again he did fabulous <3 We did a three jump course near the end of the lesson, and we did it each both twice. Dandy almost needed a crop! He was so slow, and nicely went around the course. At the end of the course there was an orange cone and we were supposed to go around it. Dandy had a mini panic attack both times away from it as fast as possible! haha he is such a big chicken!
I am really starting to like him though (i didn't really like him that much in the beginning) Lets hope the next few weeks go as well as the last few :)
I also have a couple of private lessons with another instructor coming up in a couple of days. I will definitely tell you about it when I can! I will be riding BLISS!!! I love him so much. I LOVE YOU BOY!!! <3 <3 <3
Bye for now
