the wind was horrid this morning, so rode this afternoon, did some schooling. gaynor had to help me get on, molly has turned back into a right cow about standing still (she won't, again.... thought we'd cracked that one...)
so i was going for my position again, and kept getting in gaynors way, but did get myself sorted out ... found myself jamming my feet to o far into the stirrups, but by the finish i was getting there a lot better... mind i did have my fleece lined chaps on, which are a shade slippy
looking forward to the new saddle....

The not standing while you mount surely does get old. Any way to face her into a wall or corner?
Otherwise the progress still sounds good. Hopefully the new saddle will spur you on to even more successes.
you're right, is it getting old. i did think about facing her into the fence, up against the wall, but thought it might end up with her feeling trapped between the wall and the stool - and in any event, if the stool is in the right place for me to get on, there wouldn't be anything to stop her moving away .... i don't think.
i like to think that the new saddle will help. as the present one does rub. at least i can now tack up without her moving all round the stable to prevent it .....!
