It's all coming together

Well yesterday i didnt think so. I hadnt ridden all week cause of coursework and stuff, though he had still been worked. And then i get on him and he walked nicely, very enthusiastically so i decided it was time for a trot. But no. That wasn't on the agenda. He leapt in the air, bucking and spinning all at the same time. I was so scared and i dont see how i managed to stay on tbh. I wish i had got it on camra. So i decided to get off and lunge, then i got back on and he was a bit better so we popped over a cross pole. The first time he zoomed off but the second time he did it a lot better. I think its the spring grass :(

Then today i had my lesson. To say i was scared is an understatement. But i got on and he was perfect all the way through and didnt buck once. We did some leg yielding on a circle, changes of rein cause we rush through them and then some figures of eight in canter with changes through walk and trot :)

He is losing sooo much hair at the moment :( And he has been out in a light weight all week and made the most of that, then last night i turned him out without a rug and he had a good old role and got filthy, though luckily some seemed to have disappeared cause he weren't too bad today :)
