So glad to hear that you're looking ...Hi there! So glad to hear that you're looking forward to your next riding lesson. Believe me, if you keep it up, before long you'll find that you're already beginning to correct your hands, head, heels etc., at the point when your instructor says, "heels down" or whatever :-) And the round and round on the lunge will give way to riding around the school on a long-lead and then you'll be happily off on your own!<br /><br />I find that the walking action of a horse really releases and relaxes my hips and lower back. And the pure freedom of movement at any pace delights me - though I burst into tears on my first hack out. We went past one of those things that tells cars how fast they're going and it clocked us (horses at walk) at three miles per hour. That's six times my own average walking speed! So, tears of joy.<br /><br />Hurrah for Riding for the Disabled. They've given me back one of my greatest pleasures and I'm so glad that they're giving you a new pleasure.<br /><br />xJRockHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913003630650603484noreply@blogger.com
