Sunday Riding Lesson

Today's riding lesson was awesome! I learned the trot after a few walks around the arena and worked on the post (standing up in saddle) and the quick stop. At first it was a bit uncomfortable and weird, but after I learned to "peddle" in the seat, it started to get easy and even felt a bit natural although I will be wearing a sports bra for every riding lesson from now on. I might not have much but when on a horse that really doesn't make a difference, after a few times of trotting she began to show me how to "steer" using my legs and not so much my reins. It felt odd and I know my legs got a good work out from it. I finally told Cameron that I was taking lessons, I know he isn't too thrilled about it but hopefully he won't deny me this wonderful opportunity. Tomorrow we should be running, I hope that I am not sore from tonight's riding lesson.
