Horse Lessons…YAY Me!
Well the day before yesterday…or Monday, I started taking horse lessons. I started by learning how to sit properly, and having control, and then at the end I rode bareback…I even got to jog bareback…It was Awesome!
Then I even got to jog Bareback!! It was so cool! I thought I was going to fall off! But my instructor, Michelle told me to hold on to the horses mane, because it has no feeling, so you can just hold on as tight as you want, and they won’t get hurt.
Yesterday, I got to Lope. Loping is running at top speed on the horse. It was fun, but I’ve got to say, it kills your butt! You have to hold on to the back of the saddle, or nothing at all…She told me that I had to let go of the saddle and follow the horses movement.
I did that, and I seriously felt like I was falling off. Then at the end of that lesson, I got to jog bareback…except no hands holding on to anything…I just had my arms out and I was like a T on the horse. It was scary…I seriously almost fell off.
Well I just thought that I would tell you about the lessons…and I will keep you posted! Talk to you later.

Hi Gina, was wondering where your riding lessons are? Well it sounds really fun! Told Brittney you are taking lessons and she wants to take lessons too, how old do you have to be before you can get lessons?
