OMG. ACTUAL FUNNIEST LESSON EVERR.

Yesterday, I rode Buddy in my riding lesson, and it was quite an entertaining lesson. It started well, we did a few canters and shizz, and it was all cool. UNTIL. Steve said, 'Take away your stirrups.'

Yu'see, I knew this was bad. When I did a share day with Buddy in the half term, we practised no stirrups, and it ended up with me nearly falling off numerous times, and also, we cantered around for about three minutes, because I couldn't stop him, and then I nearly fell off again, but at least my crap bit of riding left Alex and Catherine in hysterics. It was quite funny I suppose.

Anyway, back to the lessoonnnn.

The ground was all yucky and squishy, and there were a few, nice, big puddles. We had to do an exercise, where we had to go from canter to trot in the corner, and then pick up the canter again. We went in to canter fine, but when we went back in to trot, he did this really fast trot, and I literally just went bouncebouncebounce off the side. And landed in a nice big puddle. It was truly disgusting, but I just stood up and laughed, because I looked so friggen ridiculous.

Hey ho. I got mud in my hair, and on my jods, and on my hat and on my coat. EW. I had a nice long shower when I got back though so it was okay. XD

The jumping was okay. It was quite sort of interesting, and well... erm.... fast.

I need to keep a better hold of him when we go towards it, because otherwise I just muck it up and we end up jumping really weirdly.

I'm not sure why, but it always feels better when I'm riding him in the jumping school. hmmm...

Anyway, in the evening, I went to Alessa's because her dad was having a party type thing, and that was a lot of fun, I met some really nice people there. Who knew adults could be so much fun? :P

Anyway, that is the end of this blog post.

HAR.
