Joshels sign

2 weeks ago I rode Jesse.
At my last lesson we did no riding but revised on catching a horses, leading a horse properly, saddling, putting a blanket on and off etc.
It was fun but not as fun as riding. We used Jesse.

Some old pics

my latest lesson

My latest horse riding lesson went really well. We did some tear drops, trotting and even a little bit of cantering. I have a lot of work to do to get my canter any where near okay. My friend Elana is amazing I am sure if she could she would gallop around. I rode jesse again which was really great. I offered her to kaitlin but she said she would try Toffee again.
I think I am getting better at riding or is that the horse I ride is doing everything perfectly???
Anyway if you have anything that you would like to put on the blog please email me at mairose.mini@hotmail.com or mairose.mini@gmail.com

Some more Barrel racing pics

Bec and Marble

That position looks so comfortable!!! I wish i could do it.
If I could I would read like that. Thankyou so much Elley for the pic.

Docs

Docs is a stallion................. bit intimidating if you don't know him that well.
I used to always think that stallions were vicous and all but most aren't.
LOL I was kinda scared of horses when I was little because they were so big. The big horses though are often really gentle though. I find it hard to believe I was scared now that I reaaly like horses.

Caramello or Spinefix??

Carramello/Spinefix (Iam not sure what his name is now) is soooooooooooo cute. He takes after his daddy Docs.

horse lesson

Yesterday was my horse riding lesson. We had Katey teach us, we did a lot of trotting and a bit of balance. I sat trotted without stirrups and I also tried to rise trot without stirrups (very hard and painful in my opinion. My friend Elana did some sit trotting but the horse she was riding Neddy was getting a bit excited as they say and was starting to go a bit fast. So Elana had to work on her thumbs on top, heels down, hands low and a few other things. She did really well though. Unfortuanately I don't have a picture.
Toffee was a tiny bit naughty so the person riding her had some trouble but did really well. I rode Jesse and she was a star so I didn't have much problem with her but next week I am going to try and ride a different horse.

Katey said that she won't be there next week so Rachel will do our lessons. Katey said something about being in the round yard next week with the lunge line and no reins for the rider. In other words we are going to do a bit of balance I think and hope. I am looking forward to next week.
please send in anything you want me to put on the blog at mairose.mini@hotmail.com

I fell off again!!!!
Okay so I fell off just after Toffee jumped a jump. Marble was behind me and the rider got her to jump and she landed near Toffee's bum so Toffee kicked and gave a little buck and I fell off.
But the wierd thing is that one of my boots stayed in the stirrup lol.
Flo was there and so was my friend (embarrasing)
I landed on my face and my jeans landed in pooh LOL
That was probably the most funniest fall I've had
well.............................. mabe the one where i fell off Polly-Waffle was.
I was riding in the round yard with Layla bareback and I got distracted and Polly-Waffle walked underneath the fence/bar and I got pushed off....... what a laugh. Then I had to catch him, luckily that didn't take too long.
Oh yeah please tell me what u think of this blog if you already haven't so i can make it better. please comment what I should and should not change as well.
thanku

A big thanks to Elley who has provided me with this photo

Elley and Cosmo

Elley and Cosmo are a great team. They do really well together.

Elley was once reared on and kicked by Lolly Gobble Bliss Blomb it was funny and scary at the same time. After that not many people liked Lolly very much.
