Horse Riding

[Nutkin33]

Today, I went for a private RDA lesson at Stocks Farm. I rode a horse called Double Take, and I walked, trotted (rising), and cantered. So much better that last Friday, when I had only 10 minutes on a horse!

I couldn't believe how disjointed I have become. My right hand and leg was moving all over the place. Luckily, Take didn't mind, and I actually got him going quite well!

My instructor, Sue, was very pleased with me! I will go every second week, and ride the mechanical horse in between. Who knows where I'll end up!

Hey Debs thats fantastic news

I'm sure you will keep it up cos thats what you want to do, ride a horse again like you used to but please dont push yourself too hard eh, you just let it flow and you will soon be riding over them fields again

Just wandering Debs if perhaps you could do some exercises to get your right hand and leg to synchronise again if you see what I mean

You take care now Debs cos your doing just great gal and please keep us posted

Thanks for your encouragement. I have been riding a mechanical horse up to now, and that has given me a lot towards coordinating my right side. It's just practice now, on a real horse. It may never come ok, but I'll keep on trying! Thanks ??
