I can't believe i passed up a chance to ride OJ!!! :S ... then again if i'd ridden OJ yesterday i'd b saying i can't believe i passed up a chance to ride REPORT TIME :S:S sigh...

Yesterday was quite fun... i even got SIDE REINS!!!( btw, i gna refer to RP by his nickname: Chuckie!!! Cuuute huh??? It's supposed to b after some horse in a movie... not 2 sure which one... LOL!!! Sue calls him a chiken chopper!! haha) Okay, Chuckie was soooooooo SWEEET!!! didn't bite me... smt OJ would've done in a trice... and he did that head twisting thing like in d photo in my last post!!! he was sooo cute!! then when i did my stirrups, which were like 10 holes too long, i noticed how TALL he is!!! Didn't do his girth till later though. I didn't want to tempt fate... LOL!!! i think i got scared off by all d warnings jun and chun gave me abt doing Chuckie's girth haha. chun was there and fei came later during d lesson.

So sanjana didn't come and viv got oatie and jun; tikki. went up and sue was like okay today we're gna work on contact: of which i hopelessly failed at. It was kinda hard to flex chuckie even w/ d side reins on cuz his trot was SUPER BOUNCY!!! and we were doing d exercise in sitting trot. LOL!! i think i was bouncing up n down like a ping pong ball haha!! then sue made us take off our stirrups and we practised trot driving w/ d seat. didn't really get that either. Jun and viv did though... haha can one of u explain it again??

Then we did cantering. RP was REALLY GOOD!!! he is like soooooo super sensitive. it was sooo nice riding him. u juz have to nudge to get him into trot and his canter is sooo smooth!!! LOL!!! but half way during my 2nd canter my inside leg cramped. OUCH!! so chuckie and i did like 10/15 m circles wihich were kinda like ovals? haha that's like my 2nd cramp in my entire life!! my 1st being during gym... haha leg as well... really hurt so i took my leg outta d stirrup 4 a while.

We went down and since it was ramadan, we had to wash d horses. chuckie was sooo cooperative until i dried him and sue came and put some medicine on his hooves. apparently poor chuckie has MUD FEVER!!! :S :S :S nway sue started putting dettol on his feet and he got scared by d smell even though he has it on like evry other day, half reared and broked d raffia ropes on his halter so i had to hold him while sue put d stuff on. He kept moving away so in d end viv came and gave him a carrot. LOL!! finally put him back in his stall and had to give him his chaff. :D he looks sooo cuute when he's eating!!! haha
