Riding Lesson Hiatus This week will be my last riding lesson for a few months. I keep mentioning this, sprinkled throughout my blog posts, I will be having surgery on May 23rd. I know a lot of women have gone through this surgery, and everything has worked out just fine. I am so nervous about …
Riding Lesson Change It’s that time again, time for another weekly riding lesson! And I don’t know if the nervousness from thinking about having surgery is creeping into my horsey time, but I have been getting nervous again in anticipation of riding. Which is weird. I haven’t been nervous when I am riding at home, …
My Weekly Riding Lesson- Ringo’s Back! I think for the last 5 or 6 riding lessons I have been riding Murphy. And I love Murphy, he is so kind and forgiving, and he makes me work, but his gaits are so easy to ride. He makes me feel like I am getting better with my …
My Weekly Riding Lesson I was nervous in going to my lesson tonight, for a few reasons. First, my lesson last week was probably my worst lesson in a long while. I mean I am improving. And normally I can find at least one good thing in the lesson. But after I almost crashed into …
My Weekly Riding Lesson For the first time since I started my riding lessons back in January, My husband was able to come to my lesson. It was probably boring for him, but I am so grateful he came. For the first time I was able to see what I looked like while I was …

Weekly Video Wrap Up (x2) Last week I was so busy that I wasn’t able to get up a weekly video wrap up. But I decided that I would include those videos in this weekly wrap up, just in case you wanted to see what I was able to get out there. But I think …
It Is Time To Canter – My Weekly Riding Lesson I honestly did not think this would happen tonight, but it did, I cantered! I know that may not be a big deal to some, but for me that is a major accomplishment. And there is a reason for that. You see, way back in …
My Weekly Riding Lesson This week’s riding lesson was a little bit different. Ok, actually my riding lesson was completely different. You see today, I gave myself my own lesson. The barn where I take my weekly riding lessons was upgrading their dirt in the indoor arena. SO this meant no riding lesson this week. And …
My Weekly Riding Lesson I am just about 3 months into my professional riding lessons now This is my 11th week of weekly riding lessons. I think I am improving, in my overall riding. My instructor is very good at sharing with me where I am improving. If I just remember to come home and …
Weekly Video Wrap Up Well here we are at the end of another week! I don’t know about you, but this week was super busy for me. Maybe it’s because of all of the projects I am doing. And the weather was much warmer this week. So this week’s weekly video wrap up only has …
My Weekly Riding Lesson – Week 10 I can’t believe I have been having my weekly riding lesson for 10 weeks now. It doesn’t seem like it at all! And the time has changed, so it is still light outside when I am having my lesson, which is awesome. I am still expecting we will …
