Had a totally pants lesson today

[CMOTdibbler]

Not that I fell off or anything, but just couldn't do anything right. I'd booked a hack, thinking that it would give me a bit of time to settle into things, and when I got there I had been promoted off the cob and onto a TB (totally beautiful), and there was another lady who although hadn't been riding there before was obv much more experienced.
Went out, and it was just muddy and slippery, and as the instructors horse is big, mine was jogging to keep up, oh, and it was just not good. Felt such a fool as couldn't do anything right (apart from gates), and of course felt bad as this other lady had to walk rather a lot. But came back, and my normal instructor gave me some free lesson time to shake it all out.

Ho hum, onwards and upwards I suppose !

that sounds like a great scheme - ours was £50 but fairly strictly limited to 5 ridden hours a week, unlimited snogs and grooming though

excited for you!

I am a bit about it I must admit.

If you scroll down here, Gunner is the TB I'll be back to tomorrow, and Ben is the cob.

awww Gunner is beautiful! Ben looks lovely and chunky - I like the look of Jester too, he must be at least 50% rascal?

I don't know Jester - have only seen him working in the other field at a distance, although I believe him to be in the category of cheeky horses. Spiz and Frankie are the ones DS rides.

Ben is lovely, but is only a baby still (and growing), and does not like lessons - much prefers being out and about. His big feet make him very secure on the slippery ground too.
