racial harmony day today.
i wore a SARI to school. lol
but i wore a tee inside instead of that half top
and i wore that bindhi thingy
sunneh's still marvelling at how i got it to stick for so long :P

minsu said i looked INDIAN. muaha
so now, although i'm chinese,
i can look malay, indian AND eurasian
cross racial morphing. haha!

riding was good!
it just seemed so strange to be so short.
tikki felt so TINY!
and my stirrups were at the last hole and still wayyy short.
i felt like i was some huge giant on him.

the little monster came with a warning;
sue told me he's been naughty all week
and on wednesday, he managed to buck AMANDA LOWE off.
and she's PRO.

sue brought us to the sand track
we trotted alot and worked on keeping our horses in frames
he gave the bend really nicely.
the problem was keeping him in it.

he did try to misbehave a bit.
but zul's training kicked in and then:
voila! he was perfect.
kept his frame without side reins or grass reins :D

then CANTER:
it was like pony racing!
sue let me and viv canter the whole ring.
TWICE
his strides felt so small!
i used alot of seat and tried flexing again.
he gave it to me :D
that wonderful little miscreant

i have to say, that's one of my better lessons.
exhausting, but FUN.
hopefully, next week i'll get him again and we'll go to paradise and do some arena work.
I HOPE!
