I’m a Big Fat Liar
I had assumed that I wouldn’t be lessoning this week due to everyone being away at Champs. Turns out I was wrong. Coach D (G wife) was still around and so we lessoned. A private lesson. Just me and Tuck. … Continue reading
An Impromptu Clinic
Last night I arrived at the barn after work and was advised that we would be lessoning clinic style. What fun! There were seven of us riding and for the most part we were on our usual mounts. The plan … Continue reading
Lesson Night – Straightness and Contact
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts this week, I was sick last week. So no lessons last week. I don’t jump unless I’m in a lesson. So no jumping since the show. This made for an interesting time getting back … Continue reading
Lesson Night – Flat and Gymnastics (but not really)
On Tuesday night coach G gave us a flat lesson. I LOVE flat lessons! There’s so much more to work on and places to improve on the flat. Even when jumping a course, flat makes up a larger portion than … Continue reading

I’m about to get a little braggy. We rocked our lesson last night! I rode forward, I kept my eyes up (mostly), I stayed connected and kept his poll elevated, and we made the strides.
Tuesday Night Lesson – Don’t Anticipate
I feel kind blah about last night’s lesson. I shouldn’t. It went really well. I’m not sure whether it’s just my frame of mind in regards to riding or if it’s because we really didn’t do anything to work on … Continue reading
Thursday Night Lesson – I Said Forward Damn It!
This week lessons haven’t gone so well for me. Tuesday I had a very tired horse that conked out part way through the lesson and on Thursday I had all the intentions of getting back to normal and riding him … Continue reading
