Just got back from the barn . . . took a nice easy ride in the fields to stretch Gracie’s legs and then took a lesson. Cathy (trainer) moved all the jumps around again . . . a tight course with some killer turns and concentric circles so that it’s easy to get lost on course . . . one pattern took me 3 times to get right! Gracie was elegant and obedient as always, but my lesson last week was cancelled due to rain (it’s pouring here again now, but it held off until after I had her in the barn getting her her supper and putting her to bed). I can really tell when we miss a lesson, because it takes me 15 minutes to get Gracie’s head down and put her in frame.
It sounds like you had a good ride anyway. An easy ride through the fields sort of makes the lesson okay :)
