#lesson log

When my trainer told me I was riding her big, green, sensitive mare I was like “oh I should have strayed in bed today.” Nothing like putting me on a horse well above my level to make me feel incompetent! But... while the lesson started rough, it ended well and I had fun riding such a cool horse. Miss Lily is a very lovely ride despite her reputation for being a, um, firecracker (not exactly the word my trainer uses....). But not falling off or otherwise failing miserably was a nice confidence boost. Keep the bar low and you will reach hights well above your goals 👍

The good, the bad, and the ugly canter stuff from tonight ft. my mom thinking that the video options on her shitty android camera were cool

Renée made me do a lot of no stirrup work including walk to canter transitions (which Hutch was NOT happy abt) and it felt like they sucked but she said they looked good so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
