It was a clinic at a local course and I was so glad I went. THe lady teaching is renown for being good with nervous riders, and was very encouraging.
Apparently I have a good eye for a stride..... um what that then, I just let my girly sort herself out and make sure that I am riding positive the last couple of stride or so.
At the beginning, I was very tense and worried, and so Ru kept running out, after a while Ru sort of said " mum, stop fussing let me get on with it, I know what I am doing" and as soon as I did, and had a bit of confidence in her, we were soon flying round, and I had a total and utter ball.
The instuctor was wonderfully supportive and I think I spent most of the clinic bubbling with excitement and with a stupid grin on my face ( totally unheard of!)
* still running round doing a happy dance*
as always there is always a balancing bad side and that was a rather public argument over a rather ambiguous facebook entry, but hey if the particular person thinks it was aimed at them then they must be feeling guilty about something!
