Adventures with Chico

Well, I went riding again tonight. I think it went prety well. I've REALLY got to work on my position, though. My legs tend to slide too far back, and I really seem to lose my posture when I start to get tired. All in all it was a good lesson though.

I have been riding a different horse lately (Chico) and I'm just staring to get used to him. He is a much longer horse than Chime, so he tends to pull me forward a bit. He also stumbles alot, which throws off my concentration. Three-loop-serpentines and 20-metre circles went well. Cantering the left lead was good tonight too, but we're a bit weak on the right lead. We also seem to be much better at walk-canter transitions than trot-canter. But, hey, we're working on it. And I had alot of fun, so that's the main thing.
