today was just... THE BEST! bea is FANTASTIC! and she's so responsive? what sue would call a "fancy horse" haha!

sandra took us today. our class had all the difficult horses! dawn got magic, jun got stanley and that other girl... (erm yin i think?) got hank. we did walk and trot only but it was a wonderful lesson! we just did circles and serpentines. sandra set blocks for us so we didn't have to concentrate on where we were going and just FLEX!

bea was really forward and all and sandra insisted on us keeping out distances and very SLOW. quite a change from sue really. it took a while for me to get use to slowing her and using my hands alot more than i would on most horses and having to keep retake the reins cuz she keeps pulling them longer! but after i got it she was a DREAM!

sandra kinda hinted we MIGHT get the same horses next week. i DO HOPE SO!! :D

[edit] oh yes! DAWNIE'S SISTER, ERIN, CAME TO VISIT THE HORSES! she is so absolutely AH-DORABLE! she went round feeding all the horses and wasn't afraid of them at all! (unlike a certain brother of mine...) oh AND, the little darling is going to BUY sunshine. dawn is going to pay and erin is going to ride. haha! so cute! [/edit]
