Alison had quite a few lessons "banked" in exchange for work at the barn all year, and was unable to use them all up before the end of the summer. She decided to give me, Iain and Claire all a riding lesson! Obviously there are no photos of me attempting to ride ... I felt a bit clutzy, but it was awesome. Today, it was Iain's turn. He has never really been on a horse before, and he did really well for a rank beginner. He even trotted several times, which was his favourite part. He has never been interested in horses before the Olympics this year. He became quite fascinated with the Grand Prix dressage, and when Alison offered the lesson, he was quick to take her up on it.
Mary is quite a cautious instructor, but he ended up doing circles at the walk without Paige leading him, and using inside leg and rein to guide Chevy.
Claire will have her lesson in a couple more weeks.
Claire received some photos from a friend today, and I LOVED this one of Alison, Claire and their friend Angela. It was taken at Alison's grad in June.
