I'm so shit at regular blogging sometimes. Let's get on with it then, so I don't... go and eat a turnip, or whatever.
Number one - training day. Basically, a day of absolute awesomeness. I rode three beautiful gorgeous horses; Kestrel, Saffy and Tosca. I cann't be bothered to write too much about the individual lessons, but all of them had beautiful canters and were gorgeous and I love them all and can I hjave them, please? Once Wiola's academy site is up, you can watch me on it. And laugh. Hysterically.
We did a lot of canter jumping position work, especially on Saffy, who is probably the coolest horse ever. Apart from Tess, of course.
Number Two - Tess Returns.
Woooooo. This is very very cool. However, she is ever so slightly sick from the food change, and has an eye infection. This is not very cool. But she is very good with having cold tea dribbled into her eye in a yellow plastic mug.
Number Three - Hollifying Lessons
Hollie is now my most frequently ridden horse.
Yaay..
But actually, I'm getting on ok with her more. She getting used to me, and me to her, and I'm beginning to see why she hates life so much. So, if I try and make it easier for her by not kicking or smacking her all the time, she is slightly more willing. She's an amazingly talented and intelligent horse, underneath her churlish outlook.
We tried something fun on Sunday. I stand in the middle of the arena while Wiola gets on her, and I shout and shout at her, so she thinks I am the instructor. When I got on her, she cantered off. So, either Wiola is incredibly good at making her go, or she really is psychologically challenged.
Number Four (best thing EVER) - I'm getting a share horse over the summer! wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Mother and father are finally convinced I won't fall off whilst walking around a school, and know that I do not bomb around the school making every horse I ride bonkers. (I hope, anyway) So, by the end of this week I'll find my dreamy pony, and be riding by next week. Eeeeeeeee! So, in...6 minutes, I'm going down to Barnfield to talk to the owner/instructor about that and my BHS Stage 1 training. Wish me luck on finding a super cool horse, and I'll post ots and lots more now! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
