| Not impressed with the duvet or the camera! |
I didn't ride the day after my fall, but after that we got straight back into the swing of things. I'm still a bit cautious of cantering - but the fact that I know it was my fault and I know what I need to do to prevent it from happening again, helps a lot...
I had my first proper lesson again on Saturday - and my dear husband was kind enough to record it for me (link to follow).. steering issues seem to be pretty much sorted, legs still bumping a bit, but a lot better, and I'm also much more relaxed in my back!!! I still struggle to KEEP him in the canter though (you'll see I ride a bit like a cowboy in an attempt to hold the canter... seriously need to work on my fitness and muscle strength!)
Lesson 6 April 2011 (Wednesday)
Today we had a lesson in the rain (miserable weather like I said), and considering the horses all had their blankets on the entire day, I'm sure you can imagine that Flag wasn't very impressed with being tacked up and ridden at 17:30!!! Nevertheless, he was awesome! We did a little mini "trotting pole" course, and it became very clear how unfit we both were!!! The lesson went very well though and I have no reason to complain.
