spring

is not sprung, but it was warm enough for us all to feel as though it was.

it was so nice tonight, no wind, no rain, full (well, nearly full) moon, clear sky, i decided to get on; only did 20 minutes (wasn't going to stay on when everyone else had gone, and no one waiting for me at home!) and had to get a hand to get on as of course she woulnd't stand still... but at least she THOUGHT about it tonight!!!

i was starting to get the trot, but she sets off in such a rush i lose it again ... not assisted by the stirrup buckle bashing into my shin, of course. but we were doing better on circles and i nearly got a little bit of lateral work (which i did ask for... i do tend to forget the aids though .... must re-read up on it)

overall i was pleased, better than sunday anyway!!!

And it's been really cold here! Lucky you. We have snow in the forecast for Thursday, and an inch or two on the frozen ground already.

Sounds like a good ride there. Twenty minutes of good work is better than hours of bad work, so well done.
