Well... Thursday afternoon I thought, I fancy a ride... I phoned up Bowlings, and booked an extra lesson the following day at 3pm. A good excuse to 'bunk' out of work for the afternoon.
Determined to master the rising trot this week, sense of rhythm or not I will do it. I had a different instructor this week, as my first one was returning to University to continue her studies.
New instructor informed me Lyric was still a bit 'naughty' as his diet was still on, while waiting for the previous lesson to finish, Lyric was certainly trying to make me feel sorry for him looking towards the food and trying to nudge me to get him some. -He didn't win, although I did sympathise with him.
We really focused on the Rising Trot. I found the rhythm at last! It suddenly stuck. I kept loosing it on the corners, and found keeping Lyric at trot pace quite a challenge as it meant kicking my heels in while rising and falling in the saddle.
By the end of the lesson I had the trot going well. Dis-mount this week was less graceful again. I managed to get down ok, then stepped back and fell on my bottom in the mud. Technically this was just me not being able to walk and not falling off the horse though.
