No truck for silly ponies!

ahh the lovely effects of a good bottle of wine on an evening! Had a good riding lesson today. Did a lesson on trotting then canter poles to try to get Bryn one of my favourite ponies to calm down. He did but when we went to two jumps he freaked out and refused the jump. On my second go he went round the first jump but I wasn't to be foiled and got him to jump the second jump from a standing start.

Third run round he tried to run out but I was ready and already in jump position and I got my leg on and a small amount of stick action got him to behave and over we went! Yeah this is a huge achievement for me.

He did try to convince me that a magpie, a small child and a truck on the road were scary but I wasn't having it.... So frankly I am really pleased with my riding today. Lets hope it only gets better after the op!
