Or not so, as the case may be. My legs are ACHING like hell. Aparently, I clamp my knees into fat ponies when I ride them, making my body rise a little out of the saddle, which is weird. So, with the combined effort of trying desperately to manouvure Hols out of Smartie's face, forcing my heels waaay down and sticking my knees out into midair (oh, and coping with a giant hole in my left foot), it was just a wonderful lesson. We were talking about recognising canter leads, and asking for the named ones. So, to demonstrate, Charlie sent me off on Hollie to see if I could see/feel what lead she was on.
Hollie trotted around the school like a slug.
Then, she decided to do a 20metre circle and on X, did a perfect canter transition. I was only slightly surprised, and was busy trying to find what lead she was on when she suddenly thundered at a racehorse pace down to the other horses, me with my face set in a, 'I'm totally in control here' look. And, my Dad had just decided to get out of the car and watch. He already thinks that it's too dangerous, and this mini gallop didn't exactly help his state of resistance.
Good old Hols though, at least she's staying to her unpredictable traditions. I had to laugh, she's just amazing. And as for Kandee...
She looks incredible! Totally forward and almost eager to work. I want to ride her soon :)
