1 to 1 lesson

Today.. i was a little worried on my way to lesson as it started drizzling. Fortunately it was shorrt-lived. And even more lucky, I had a 1 to 1 lesson as the other students were mostly international and this is their 1 wk brk, most families goes ovs!

Well, even b4 lesson, i was walking arnd (cos raining) the sheds and playing w e horses. I asked Keith (instructor) how to differentiate males and females. Then got a long lesson on how stallions are not used for riders as they're hyperactive!

Gosh, they actually castrate horses for us to ride safely! :'( [suddenly reminded of castrato singers] And so in the ranch, there's just geldings and mares... But mostly geldings. After a work out, can see the thing sticking out... Oppz.. abit NC(16) here...

anyway, since I was alone today, I'm working my trot. I'm really bad at the rhythm thingy, really cos I have no energy to keep rising for 30mins non-stop. And my heels are wrong, i keep slipping off the stirrups. Hands also wrong, thumbs must point towards the sky. Keith says I hold the reins like i'm playing piano. (yea, i think so too man)

So many things, I must rmbr to get them right next lesson.
