First Lesson

I had my first lesson on Mason tonight with Julie. What an amazing horse I have!! He was perfect! I really got to experience his canter, and what a couch he is!!! I could canter him all day long! Its interesting, he is better bending to the right at the walk and trot but better bending at the canter. I would have thought since he raced he would bend easily to the left, but it makes sense that he bends easier to the left at the canter I guess.

I got to pop over some jumps tonight, and he was awesome, a little quick but its such an amazing feeling knowing if I get left behind or pop up too soon I don't have to worry about him bucking. Its going to take some getting use to. He's so different yet a lot like Pokita.

Julie thinks I'll be able to go show in no time! Who would have thought I would have the chance to show this summer?! Yes I may be able to go show but I want to take it really slow. Don't want to have a couple of bad show rides and then go backwards with my riding like what happened with Pokita and I. Going to take it really slow with him. My current goal is to do the dressage show at Valinor in October. Maybe just maybe in the mean time I'll try to do a jumper show just to get out there and show off my new baby!

I'm still so excited I found my dream horse! I couldn't have asked for a better horse. Mason is so sound a well educated at the age of 6! With time he will get even better! I can't wait!!

All for now
