Todays lesson was brill. Did about 10 mins of sitting trot with no stirrups and boy can i feel that in my groin tonight!! Got a really good canter going on Alfie too and if he tried to break into trot i managed to get him back into canter easily. Was very happy at the end with my progress. Got one more lesson in a fortnights time before the riding holiday!!

Emma fell off her pony today near the end...

I took the opportunity to have a half hour private lesson on the same horse but it was my riding instructors (RI) day off so i had a different one. My canters are still abit ropey at times. She said my position in trot is good but then i lean forward trying to get the horse into canter as if i am urging him to go into canter and then i get all unbalanced in my position.

I am still enjoying the lessons though and keeping it fun!!

Had fab 1/2 hour riding lesson on Alfie this morning, Emma rode a pony called Mel that i haven't seen her ride before, she says she has rode Mel at pony club though.

I felt i was really getting alot from Alfie and i adore that horse sooo much!!...
