This was my first lesson! It was amazing, and so much fun. I loved every minute!
The horse I’m riding is Simon, and my trainer is Shannon Norris at Hidden Pines. I can’t wait until my next lesson!

We did walk/halt transitions, walk/trot transitions, and then rising trot/sitting trot transitions. Then at the end, she let me off the lunge line and we started work on steering. :]]]

Comments/Critiques are very much appreciated, but please remember it was my first lesson..
