doing more things at the same time

Blah.... So i go for my lesson tonight and I get to ride Bunny!!!! Her real name is Really Noluckneeded, but everyone knows her as Bunny. She was a congress finalist at one point and has a wack of points. More importantly I've seen her and Herb kick ass at the AQHA shows so it was really cool to get to ride her (I think i might have only lucked out because my usual horse had a little kid on it!!)

Honestly I was shaking.... I was nervous thinking I was going to mess her up but we started off really well and had a good ride untill we went to lope (again on my bad direction but I got Herb to lengthen that side one hole and it worked alot better!) Again I screwed up the transistion (I really need to rock that hip back instead of just using legs and closing my eyes!!) And it wasnt horrible I mean for my 4th ride in 6 months but its not easy and I get somthing and the horse goes bad, I get that and were off our circle. AHHHHHH!!!!

Im learning alot though, I really got that 'feel' all though my but thigh and calf tonight (except during some of the crappy lope stuff) But I do know where my holes are in my training now a lot better. Im ok at the colt stuff but its getting to have the horse hold the frame better, without using my hands so much! But I've never had stuff this broke to ride before (except for the jumpers) Its alot of work but Im loving it and wanting to learn more all the time, not so bored but intrested again. Its been a while for that feeling!

I had to laugh to the girl that Herb has working for him was lunging a young colt and couldnt get him to stop. I didnt say anything but I felt like telling her to back up instead of running at his head.....

All and all a great birthday ride. I told Herb that getting to ride her was the best birthday present, and it was!
