Lesson Post Babyyyyy!

Hey there EA! Welcome back another post! Today I will be sharing with you my lesson from the 18th, because it definitely stood out from other lessons I’ve had. Let’s go!

So, I rode Flicka for this lesson, and can I just say it’s been awesome riding my own horse! I love Beckett so much, but nothing compares to riding with your true partner. Getting her into the trailer this time was also so much easier than it has been, which was nice!

So, I started her in the round pen, just to get her moving before I tacked her up. Once I was done, I brushed her out, picked her feet and tacked her up. Then I got on and walked her around.

Then I moved her into a trot, which she was being super good with. Normally she power trots, but that day she had a very nice and steady trot going. I was very pleased with her.

Then after a few more laps of walking and trotting, I got to lope her. When I say that her lope was amazing, I mean it in more ways than one! Her lope has definitely improved since I first got her, it’s a lot more straight and smoother than it was before. I’m so proud of my pretty lady!

Now, let’s talk about what makes this lesson stand out! So, loping was going great, Flick was being awesome and we were just riding along. Until I lost my stirrup coming down the rail, and as I was trying get it back, Flicka tripped and threw me off balance.

So, yeah, that was my first fall off Flick. I’m ok, thankfully! I just have a sore back, nothing major. I know it looks like I kinda jumped off, but I think that was because I was going pretty fast.

Anyway! That was my lesson! It was definitely a good lesson, but it was also unexpected. I hope to see you next time!

See you soon!
