Oh my god! I repeat! OMG! Just sitting down to write this blog made my thighs clench into stones and not release! It's like having a cramp with every movement I make.
This morning my thighs yelled at me to not get on that horse but I did it anyway.
Apart from the obvious pain Teddy was legendary. Seriously that horse has a lot more going on then he's been letting be known. I did my practise of posh reining, all the other stuff about keeping my body in position, as well as the balancing stuff. Probably a 45 minute session. I did it all at a walk so I could really concentrate on getting it right and I was really happy with my progress.
And Teddy just performed like a pro. I would just turn my head and Teddy knew where to go. He was better than the school horse I rode yesterday. He wasn't pushy or forward, he did everything I asked of him and the second half of the practise was done through grass as long as his legs so he had to concentrate on where he was going as well as what I was asking of him. After the first trip up in the grass he was right on the ball and did a great job.
I have to thank you Teddy, you could have tried it on but you didn't. Nothing phased you, not even the heat, and you worked up a little sweat. You wanted to make me happy and you did. You're wonderful!
