It Rained !! - and it was cold - so we worked harder !
Lesson 1 - are really progressing with their riding. Everyone worked hard and made achievements as well as getting physical benefits. Kim enjoyed riding Sultan - and finished with a lap of canter on her own. Chris and Rupert had a great time. Louis is stepping up his riding on Bally - and he cantered, led by Simon. Bradley rode Bertie for the first time. Bradley found Bertie a challenge but he worked very hard rather than give up. Ethan and George worked well together and ended with a canter - led by Simon.
Lesson 2 - Everyone worked hard. Courtney is sitting straight on Rupert and making him work nicely. Lucy rode Ivan for the first time in a while - she sat more straightly and steered Ivan accurately. Daisy rode Sultan nicely and made him walk on. Damaris on Conker concentrated on listening to Simon - with Tina to remind her to lift her hands.
Lesson 3 - were a busy group and did lots of things. Orla steered Harvey. Tabitha rode Ferdie - she is starting to understand that different ponies may need to be ridden differently. Cody rode Conker. Cody is starting to learn that legs aids can be 'squeeze' rather than 'kick'. Maddie and Ben had a fun time together.
