Riding awesomeness

So awesome riding lesson today although it hurt! I was riding dog leg jumps. So riding along jump a jump ride to a point, turn the horse round its middle then jump again.

Going the first way was easy enough (A round to B) as it was set up with the turning point nice and easily between the two jumps but the other way.... (B round to A)

Well the first jump was along side the wall but inclined at say 20 degrees, so it was ride long the fence then turn and jump, then ride across the corner of the school at and then turn canter a step then jump again. Now that was a bit hard.



So the first time I tried it I didn't have the right plan in my brain but the second time I nailed it. It was probably the first time I just managed to get the horse to turn exactly when I wanted and then jumped. Just brilliant and a real high. The Celine put the jumps up to 75cm and I did it again. That was a real buzz and I was very happy even if it really made my hips hurt.

Rupert you are a star and fun to ride even if your conformation is rubbish and this is why I am really not giving up riding.

Kylie Legg is this a good idea for your riding lessons?
