Lesson 9 Aril 2011

Holy crap! Pam almost killed me today!!! Remember I said I struggle to keep him cantering for more than one circle? Well today we ONLY cantered...

We started the warm up as usual, then we started cantering... a couple of small circles, go large - 2/3 circles, change rein, trot in the middle, pick up the canter again - trot small circles, go large, change rein... and so it went on and on until it felt like all I did was just flopping around in the saddle and every time it felt like he might die I just kicked - although I must admit by this time I didn't have much kick left :)

When we were eventually done it felt like I ran the comrades!!! Shows you (again), how unfit I am!
