We loped!

More than 10 steps!

Both directions!

The 2 point/rising trot exercise is really working and I was feeling so much more secure tonight that I figured I should just bite the bullet and go.  I did my stretching before my ride.  Kept my elbows out in front of me (which for some reason keeps my upper body from locking and lets me follow the horses motion more).

I'm so happy that I got over the 'issue' and Oscar was a super star.  Hes so much fun to ride and work on my own riding with.  Hes happy to get out of the pasture and do something.

Anyways I took pain killers (as a precaution) and now Im going to bed.  Hopefully I can make more sense out of this post tomorrow!

Plan is now that I am ordering a saddle in from Kentucky, hopefully we will have details worked out by the end of the week.

This is great news! Baby steps. I'm glad you had a rewarding ride. It's such a good feeling.
