Yesterdays Lesson

I had a great lesson with Andria yesterday. My pony (Oliver) was being responsive and respectful. Yippee!!! Most of our lesson was spent on canter work and jumping. So much fun. One of the freshly painted jumps had been put up and let me tell you Oliver thought that blue and yellow checkers were the scariest thing ever since red and white stripes. Not only were we practicing jumping we had some great reining practice too. Oliver has remarkable sliding stops. Wow! After our lesson Andria and I went out in the field and let the ponies run around it. Oli was so happy. When we were done he was so tired. He rubbed on me for what seemed like twenty minutes. He got a perfectly white tanktop very dirty. Its ok dirt comes out! I'm so excited for states next weekend. I think we are ready! Yay!!!
