whispers - i may have become an "intermediate" rider - ruby & i have been having some secret[ish] lessons - well its hard to be secretive when one of you is 17hh- so tonight we were working on transitions - including walk to canter/canter to walk & halt to canter & NOTHING WENT WRONG & my lovely instrructor said that ruby finds going in an outline difficult but i keep her in a presentable shape - am tragically pleased - not showing off really but no-one in my house cares
