On Thursday October 24th I had a riding lesson. It was at Beach brook Stables which holds camps and birthdays as well. They have over 18 horses and they can all be ridden. I ride my own pony though, Scooby. The lesson was with Jess and Jorgia.
We started out with simple trots and exercises then our instructor Gill took me in for a lunge. She made me canter and it was really fast so I got to hold onto the saddle. Then we did trotting poles. We soon moved up to jumping our ponies. Jorgia was on Moose and he could just trot over the poles. Same with Jess's horse Eeyore. Scooby had to jump over though because he was 2.1 hands smaller than Eeyore and Moose. He would land on the other side in a canter.
When we were finished we did some tricks like around the world, where you spin on your horses back, and standing up on your horse. When it was Jess's turn to stand up her horse collapsed, bucked and cantered away. She fell and I jumped off Scooby and ran to help her. She was alright. After that she got back up on her horse and finished the lesson.
