Emotional morning...utterly exhausted.

[sleepingdragon10]

Had a lesson with lukey this morning..Lukey is 3 and unbacked, sorted a few issues out and all was going well. Then progressed to him being led With me walking alongside putting pressure on his back/saddle...he wasn't phased at all, so we got the mounting block and i gently lay across the saddle. Well, he was such a good boy..So, instructor asked him to walk on with me laid across him

we managed a few steps before I slid off and gave him lots of hugs, and cried like a baby

i'm so proud of him.

Awww well done

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Thank you

after i'd stopped crying i couldn't stop hugging him and telling him how clever and brave he was lol

 

[Fizzimyst]

Fly always looks at me in disgust and tries to move away when I am sobbing round her neck, Figgy tries to mug me for anything foodlike I might have

Its always nice when things go right isnt it

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Oh it is great when things go so well...wasn't expecting to progress so far today, but he's such a dude and took it really well, even the sobbing mess that was me at the end

Oh well done it is so nice when things start to come together and all the hard ground work pays off. Lovely day to do it on too.

Well done ned, and you

.

When I got on my horse for the first time (well, he was sort of mine), he turned a nose to my boot as though to say 'Oh, that's where you've gone' and that was it, totally chilled

.

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Definitely

I just can't believe it's all coming together ....i've had him since he was 11 months old so this is what i've been waiting for and I guess it feels a little surreal...

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Ha ha ha

lukey was more interested in trying to eat the lunge line than what I was doing lol

 

[Ellies_mum2]

O wow I'm glad its all going so well for you

Just hope it goes as well when its my turn to back Bella

But then that won't be for a good couple of years yet as she's only 9 months old

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Well done

 

[ruscara]

Aww, how lovely to see this! Well done both of you (though it seems to have been a far bigger step for you than for him LOL)! Onwards and upwards, one step at a time.

[/ QUOTE ] I think you're right lol

baby steps are fine, not sure I can cope with anything else right now...was embarrassing standing in the middle of the school sobbing with lukey looking totally confused as to why mum had suddenly gone to pieces
