Lesson report

Here we are listening to the instructor. The DOR was paying better attention than I was. I quit listening when she said I had to collect my butt up underneath me...too much work.





















Well ignoring her didn't work too well. She came over to make sure she had my undivided attention. I thought the lesson was supposed to be for the DOR and that I was just to pack her around. She was supposed to work on her position, hands, head, and legs...what is up with me having to work too? Jack tuck your butt, Jack turn with your shoulders, Jack quit turning on your hindend, Jack quit dragging yourself around the arena on the forehand...JACK, JACK, JACK!!!















Well the DOR told me I was doing grand. The instructor said I was more confident and calmer. She said I had come a long way since our last lesson, she could tell I had been working hard. Good thing she said nice things or this would have been the only view she would have gotten for the entire lesson.



















Here I am working at a jog. I think I look superdee duper!
I was a bit of a twerp for the farrier after the lesson. He is married to the instructor. So I gave her the "appy stare" and kept yanking my hoof from the farrier...showed her! The farrier had enough of my antics, gave me a swat, and told me to stand right- okiedokie, don't want any more swats but I can still stare fiercely at the instructor.
The DOR is so pleased with how well I am doing. She says that I just keep getting better and better. Soon I will be super appy! It was a weekend filled with riding and fun. Tomorrow I will tell you about our early morning ride.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR
