Warmer Weather = Better Pony

Haven't blogged for a short while, whoops!
So i don't remember the last time i blogged but i'll go from my lesson last wednesday!

He has been going so well at the minute, so we reckon that he was naughty cause of the cold weather. Silly pony. Last wednesday he was amaze in my lesson. As per usual, he wouldn't lunge until charlotte chased him a bit. Then i rode him on the lunge and he started lacking in his trot so i smacked him and he helpfully gave me a bucking fit in canter. Daft pony! But he was very good, even when we were off the lunge. He did have another stroppy moment near the end cause he thought we had finished because i got off to mount again to practise my assessment and then when i asked for trot he mucked around before barging out the arena again :

Thursday and Saturday he wasn't behaving so we won't go there. haha!

Sunday I had my academy lesson. I was aprehensive because it was a group so I didn't know how he would behave. I fell off within the first 5 minutes cause he had a right strop and my leg swung over his back and I knew it would hurt to keep my leg in the stirrup so i let it fall. But for the rest of the lesson he was rather good :) He did have to get chased occassionally but that was too be expected. He got rather excited in his canter and when we did poles haha. And then jumping he was alrightish. Still needs improvement! And then we went to jump and upright and as I nudged him into trot he got excited and cantered off bucking with excitement, we went over a jump we weren't meant to and then he tripped over and so i fell off. And then as he got up he scratched me slightly on my back. Luckily nothing serious just a bit of pain, so i walked round on him for a bit before doing the upright.

Hoping to do some competitions soon :) And a video at some point!
