Best ride ever!

It was the first of my private lessons today! I was so excited because we do lots of jumping and cantering. When we arrived I found I was on my most favourite horse, Henry. He is a bay horse who I think was a showjumper. Most people don't really like him because he can buck quite a bit when you canter and is generally bad tempered, but I just love him. He has only bucked once with me but it wasn't big enough to make me fall off.

 We walked down to the school. When we went inside I warmed him up but doing 240m of canter! I loved it because he just goes so fast down the long straights! After his warm-up we started jumping. Its so nice to see his eyes just light up when jumps come out, its like he is a completely different horse! We started of small and got bigger and bigger. It was my first combination but Henry found it too easy! As he is such a good jumper he is so smooth and just a pleasure to ride. It was also going to be my first time cantering over jumps, It was so fun I could do it all day!

Jumping is my favourite thing to do now, its just so fun feeling the horse speed up as you approach the jump, and then getting it just right, the landing and your position, Its just the most amazing thing ever, and Henry is the most most amazing horse to do it on.

Just come over the double in our warm-up!
