Back in the saddle after three decades

[10brooks]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm returning to the sport after 30 years. (How is this possible when I'm only 25?) In any case, I will undoubtedly be here often, asking many questions. Nice to meet you...

That is wonderful! I'm worried it will be difficult to establish a good seat...but all part of the fun, I suppose.

I never had lessons all those years ago...never even heard of balance, seat etc...Just went with the flow..and never wore a hat either !..eek...hold on and hope for the best really. This time I'm doing it right and I don't care how long it takes. So many things to remember but I am enjoying it so much. Not progressed to the canter yet which when it comes will be a huge milestone/trepidation..I am gaining confidence every lesson.....

That sounds perfect, Shirl! Great plan! You've done so much already...you'll be cantering in no time. I like your patient attitude. (May I borrow it?)
