I'm having a lesson tomorrow, my first in 3yrs! Not that exciting you may think, but it's on my gorgeous mare who's been a broodie since she was 3! She's rising 7 this year and I've owned her since dec '09, buying her in foal from a local stud. She was broken at 3 in Germany where she did her mare test and hasn't been ridden since. Until 2 weeks ago when I clambered on board. I'd been building up her muscles with lots of lunging and long reining. Then one day, the weather was so lovely and she was so chilled, I decided just to hop on. She's been really good so far though so green. I'm taking her down to my trainers yard in the morning for a session to get us a bit more forward and confident. I hope she behaves cos she can be a little stressy at times!
Here are some pics of the first day I got on. Please dont slate me for the wellies, getting on was a spur of the moment thing and I'd usually always wear proper boots. And a couple of pics of her with her colt from last year.
Wish me luck!!!
