Update

I got into it and then i forgot about my blog again! But i am back for the moment.
                       School started on August 25th so I have been pretty busy. Just to let my readers know, this is my first year at a public school. I absolutely LOVE it. I am still trying to figure out where I belong. But that's normal i suppose.
                       I have been riding every Wednesday afternoon. 4 weeks ago i had a bareback lesson and I attempted to canter. It did not work. My instructor told me that Magic is very picky about when he canters. The rider MUST have it perfect before he will canter. It didn't help that i was scared out of my wits about cantering bareback. Before long I am sure that I will try to canter again,but with a saddle this time.
                       Today was a good lesson. I will probably be sore tomorrow since we worked so hard. Magic really worked up a sweat. I did too quite honestly. Okay so I am going to change topics real quick. Well sorta. Now I know that there are people that say that horse riding is not a sport. Anyone who rides horses, or knows anything about riding horses, knows that riding is harder than most people think. They say that we "just sit on the horse." We don't. We really don't. There is SO much more that goes into it than that. We have to remember a million things at one time! Such as keeping our heels down, keeping our thumbs on top, keeping our hands tight around the reins, keeping our legs back, and SO much more! Riding isn't just sitting on a horse. Like any other sport, It's about teamwork. If you and your horse don't "click" or if your horse doesn't listen to you, you aren't acting like a team. If you aren't acting as a team, you don't accomplish anything! Anyhow, my usual instructor's mom did part of my lesson. Boy is she strict! I used to be irritated by it, but it is absolutely necessary for me to learn to do things the right way. She really helped me learn and discover the things that I have been doing wrong all this time and never noticed. It was a really good lesson.
                      I miss working at the barn on Wednesday mornings. My Wednesdays are just school and from now on, Advisory or homeroom. Well it is almost time for me to get my shower. Can't go to school smelling like Magic. ;D
