So in readiness for moving yards for the first time in quarter of a Century I thought it wise to bolster up my confidence with extra lessons with miss.
Today I was supposed to be jumping but due to my anxiety over my Mum being in hospital I swopped to flat and asked Miss to ride my horse for only the second time since I bought the Great Lump 18 months ago. I felt he was slow and a bit stiff.
She had him going great guns inside 5 minutes and I watched this lovely forward going soft Great Big Lump floating around the arena with a pathetic grin on his face (or was it my face).
I wish I could take her with me she loves him.
Anyways I got on him and did some work and asked for a canter and oh my God exhuberant or what he belted off like a rocket.
I, of course, hit my panic button and locked my arms waiting to be bucked off but she interceded and 'indicated a requirement'(Shouted) to put my arms forward and just jiggle my fingers to remind him he had a passenger. he slowed down almost immediatly.
Unfortunatly as a result of this and seeing how well he went I have found it necessary to book yet more lessons!!
Are lessons so addictive do you think I should ask her to be rubbish so I can save some money??
