I'm having my first riding lesson on monday!!

I've been riding for just over about 40 years though . I think I had a couple on the lead rein which probably don't count (that was when I was about 7). I'm quite excited!

Prepare to ache!! also prepare to change everything you probably do and prepare to argue with your muscles as you ask them to do foreign things. haha! enjoy

I'm only having a half an hour and I did ride about 10 hours or more per week out hacking, so I should be ok muscle wise with any luck!

I'm really looking forward to doing some basic schooling with my lovely horse. He can do stuff like help me open gates, and is responsive with transitions and stuff, but now our yard has built a manege I may as well use it!

I think this particular instructor will be sympathetic to my lifelong quirks
