Had riding lesson number 2 this afternoon. It was much better than last time, as I have more idea of what I'm doing. I got to do a rising trot, which is much less painful than a sitting trot which is, as you can imagine, bouncy and painful (particularly if you are male). You have to sit up and down with the gait of the horse. I'm still being led as am not good enough to be trusted on my own with the horse, and I succeeded in knackering out bill by trotting up and down the arena. Hehehehe.

The horses are still being a little naughty. I came to the conclusion yesterday that it was the heat that was making them cranky, but today they had no excuse. Though today it was mostly Tessie that was a pain. Maybe she's just decided she doesn't like me.
