Warming up. He was actually more forward than he felt at the time. I think my brain was going fast.


"Enter at A in medium trot..."


Medium walk, and Zorro's love of stomping things is stronger than my ability to steer.


Most of the test was in trot. Looking back at the video I'm actually pretty happy with how we're going. I mean, there are a lot of ways we could be better, but for the work we have put in and what I expected, things came out pretty well all in all.

Thank you! The thing I found to work has been 18 months of Lunge lessons with a brilliant teacher. I think the learning is easier than finding someone that good.

If you've lived in that area for a while, were you near to Suzanne's?

Was for a long time the biggest riding school in the UK, I'm pretty sure it was up Hertfordshire way, though I don't recall exactly where.

Herts, Bucks, it's all "oop north" as far as we're concerned ;p

It closed down a few years ago now, but our teacher Julian is Suzanne's son and was the proprietor of the school for a very long time. He's very good indeed at teaching people to ride...
