I went for my 30 minute lesson today. Poor horse was as stiff as a board, didn't know what a contact was, was a mild head shaker and definitely needed a little bit of tlc. The outdoor arena was a bog. However, tbf to the little mare, once she understood that she was to go forward and I'd leave her head alone, she was willing enough, just totally uneducated. RI was a youngish girl and did the best she could although she was late arriving. I won't go back although RI said they had some much more suitable horses, clearly they had not read my booking form! I'm going to book a schoolmaster lesson at Prestige as at least I now know that I am sufficiently fit not to expire if asked to trot a 20m circle. I realise how spoiled I am riding a well schooled supple horse.
