Some pics and videos of horse-riding (finally!)

[Miss Z]

And the two videos, the first is trotting a serpentine, the second is cantering on a circle. I really don't like uploading to photobucket, it seems to darken my videos, but ah well.





Hope you all enjoyed!

Wow what a pretty horse! I can't wait to have my own horse someday and take riding lessons, i can ride a horse if it listens to me, but I don't know much about it like you do. Like the things you said you was doing wrong, I didn't even know the difference lol. Anyways post more sometime too! you looked great out there!

Hee hee, the half-chaps are pretty cool, especially with black jodhpurs and a blue fleece I think Millie has a blanket clip, I'm not entirely sure though. I suppose I'm used to all the 'yelling' of instructors, believe me, I've had some really horrid ones before, but my current instructor is really nice and I've come on loads with her. I think for dressage you need someone on the ground yelling at you what you're doing wrong because it's so precise!

Nikki, don't ever worry about looking silly when riding or falling off! I used to do the exact same thing for about 3 years straight, and it did come back fairly recently although I can conquer it now. It's all part of riding, the top riders fall off all the time, but it's all part of the experience! Everyone fails on horses sometimes, I could tell you a billion stories when I've thought to myself 'Hey, maybe I don't want to ride anymore'. But don't ever let that get the better of you, a lot of riding is based on how much you trust not only the horse but yourself, and once you have that, riding becomes so much easier.
