yesterday's lesson was so-so.
got KINABALU, and i can't decide if i should call her kina or balu. her name is JUST too long! and she's TINY! smaller than cupcake even.
warming up was okay. but her head was like UP UP UP. spent alot of time flexing her in walk then the minute i got her to trot. her head goes up again :/ gave up and went trotting all sorts of figures then zul came and started spraying the arena sand with water from hoses at the fence which i didn't know even existed lol.
halfway through i didn't watch where i was going and got in "range" and he SPRAYED ME AND KINA/BALU!! on PURPOSE! Predictably kina/balu shied and bolted for a few steps. i lost a stirrup too! i have to work on my feet!
after, we started to canter. kina/balu is stiff on the right rein and tends to like twist her head and "flex" herself to the left. this results in her going off the track and cutting corners on the right rein. she's okay on the left. zul told me to counter flex her. MAN it's no joke. my arms and legs ACHE. even so, i could only sucessfully do it in walk and trot. :/
halfway through, these rda guys started to move some plants and apparently johnny spooked ( i was too busy trying to flex kina/balu) and then kina/balu jumped forward and bolted towards the other side of the arena. jun and mimo beside us. We stopped after a few minutes, thank god.
then, johnny REARED! really HIGH! poor caro looked so shocked but she managed to sit. who knew the old boy actually had it in him? when he landed, all the horses took off AGAIN. When we all calmed them down and halted, which took forever, we all immediately dismounted. zul seemed to find it very amusing that we all jumped off right after. lol
oh and, i was so thirsty i broke caro's water drinking record. by one cup :D

WE WON!!! XD
and i'm still in shock. hahaha. and the entire comp was worth waking up at 6 30 for. even with the rain and delays and change of timing, TWICE, and doing gate A in the rain and lol EVERYTHING. :D
Lilttle red was FANTASTIC. though he hates people with too much rein contact and kept tossing his head. i think he's too used to begginers... his trot canter transitions were WONDERFUL and he was easy to get going. but my downward transitions weren't my best :S and after watching d video my canter seat SUCKS.
jun came to watch us and did gate A with me, caro and dawn (we alternated). and halfway through tanja came as well. thank you ever SOOO much for taping my test dear!
prize giving was like RIGHT after we finished the test. so i was holding little red and trying to juggle the cert (which was printed on nice pink GLITTERY paper) my helmet, whip, the blue sash, which said BTSC 1st. And little red kept trying to pull away and eat grass or make friends with james and sun. sandra competed in d novice and got 3rd, i think, on bilco. and chun on chuckie and fei on weareon also placed in the 1.3.
after that, we all went for lunch at green fairways. fei dawn tanja jun daph and me all crammed in the back seat and nat and chun shared the front seat with nat's dad driving. and dawn whipped out her camera and started to film us all 10 of us squashed into this tiny five seater. i'm actually kind of surprised the car even MOVED! thank god the golf course was like next door! haha. needless to say we attracted alot of weird looks from people we drove past.
when we got there, we all piled out and these golfer people were like staring in shock at us and were like WOW! how did you girls all manage to squeeze into that car? and this other guy tried to count us. i suppose we did look really out of place in our jodphurs and long boots compared to all d people eating in shorts. :P
