A quick hack down the lane today.

Riley had a visit from the farrier today. It’s funny how you can feel proud of your horse for just standing still and being well behaved but I was.

It’s such a difference to his he used to be.

Horse Riding Lesson Tuesday As I hadn’t ridden

Horse Riding Lesson Tuesday

As I hadn’t ridden Riley for 4 days it felt nice this morning to be back in the saddle.

Jenny the instructor schooled him on Friday and then as life got in the way he had 3 days off.

My lesson was with Jenny so she was able to work with me knowing what issues she had when riding him.

She prompted me to get him listening very early on as I tend to give him too much time and more than one reminder for transitions and paces.

He seemed much more forward than usual because I wasn’t letting him get away with his slow paces and I didn’t always need my leg on like I usually do.

We managed a few steps of canter. I’m still working on my confidence and I know it’s holding him back as he’s ready to go.

He must have looked like he was trying as the lady who watched part of our lesson gave me a carrot for him, so of course he was happy.

Yes we smile even when we don’t manage to canter

Yes we smile even when we don’t manage to canter.

Today wasn’t our day which is why there’s always tomorrow.

We finished off with a hack down the lane although a mouse could of walked faster than Riley today. He took chilled a bit too seriously.

Is there anything that you didn’t manage today that you are going to give another go tomorrow?

Horse Riding Lesson Tuesday

Although it didn’t go quite to plan. I’m not sure what happened but when I arrived at the stables this morning it came to light that I wasn’t booked in.

So I decided to lunge instead as Riley and I were doing a group lesson later in the day.

I’m still finding my feet with lungeing. At one point Riley ended up next to the manège fence and he was walking slowly and he spotted the grass that grows on the edge and swooped in for a quick snack.

The class lesson was fun and we did trotting poles and managed a couple of canters. I was really pleased that on his good rein he went into canter quickly instead of his usual fast trot. One of the other riders commented about the big smile on my face.

It was definitely a rug day today.

I much prefer it when I can turn Riley out without a rug. Especially when it’s warm even and as he’s a hardy Welsh section C I try not to over protect him (easier said than done).

We had rain all day today and I had planned to ride so rugged him up.

I got back to the stables later than planned so skipped the riding and tucked him up for the night.

He had clearly been rolling as there was mud on the rug and him.

The Life of Riley

The latest blog is over on my website www.themulberrytree.co.uk

We had a nice schooling session today and attempted canter but all we got was a very fast trot.

He also had his feet trimmed today and I still find it incredible how well behaved he is. It seems a far cry from the horse who almost reared when the farrier came near.

Horse Riding Lesson Tuesday

I rode Elvis today as I feel as though I need to build my cantering confidence back up and Elvis is a reliable pair of hands.

Becky was off this morning so I had my lesson with Heather and with her encouragement we did have a few small canters.

Although at times I went into panic mode and pulled him up.

As we only had half the school I had to steer on a circle and in canter that didn’t seem possible.

Although as Heather pointed out I had cantered a very small circle and since I managed that I should have no problem cantering on a larger one.
