Feeling Amazing - Self indulgent

[Ferdinase514]

My friend has recently been hunting and competing the fat man XC/SJ. We've decided she is going to do the Milton Keynes 3DE in May.

She has b*lls of steel but little experience on flat or in competition, so have been giving her lessons. Have to say i'm really really enjoying it

She's really making progress with her flat work and this has helped her jumping loads. Did work without stirrups this evening and finished off with grid work.

Didn't think i could get so much pleasure out of helping someone out and planning competitions/fitness work

Finni is obviously loving the jumping and is generally much happier (also partly due to moving to a quieter stable)

Am even getting some enthusiasm back for jumping, myself!

Anyway, her first dressage test is on Sunday - so will keep you posted

Sorry self indulgant

I started teaching last year and was also pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy it! Definately helps when your pupil has bags of enthusiasm. Good luck to the three of you, hope all goes well in the build up!

It really is great. I'm quite in demand now with another girl wanting me to help with her flat work.

Am a complete perfectionist and have spent years having lessons and watching other people so I guess i've got an eye for things and picked a lot of useful exercises up

Any plans for a clinic for members of Lancashire Clique? You could do a whole tour! Bagsy me first if you're cheap!

Cheap?! Mate, I'm free

Shouldn't have said that Finn, you're only down the road from me!! If you see a knackered bay trip on to the yard one day, that be me and the ned riding over for a lesson!!
