| Jessie and me after cantering |
I was back riding Jessie today. What a wonderful horse! He is so responsive that it takes little to no effort to put him into a canter.
The four or five times we managed the gait properly, I was letting out shrieks for having accomplished this. My friend, Mary, who also takes lessons on Monday, thought I was screaming because I was terrified I was going to fall off. Not so. It was a wonderful gait to ride and I was having the time of my life. These were shrieks of joy!
If you want to see someone cantering who knows what they are doing, check out the video. "It's a beautiful thing," as the expression goes.
Onward in a canter.
J, thanks for reading my blog. Yes, it is fun to have a friend along. I think you are being too modest about your riding ability. Cantering is as fast as I am ever going to go. Even my riding instructor doesn't like to gallop and she's been riding since she was 6.
ReplyDeleteDear Karen, You deserve alot of credit for all of the activities that you do. Good for you, is what I say! Life is short and we need to make the best of it. I am hoping your hip isn't fractured, so that you will be able to continue. I am sending lots of positive vibes your way.....XOXO Linda
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you very much. One has to keep moving, which is why I do so many activities. And love them all. I appreciate the positive vibes coming from you. I am still waiting to hear from my doctor about my hip. Hope to hear by day's end. Hugs, Karen
