Pains

In My Bum

It was only for half an hour, but it still did damage I had not expected. Allow me to clarify:

We had our first riding lesson, and it was great! Granted, all we did was walk and a tiny bit of trot, as the majority of the class had not ridden before, but it was still great to be up on a horse again after all these years. In this first lesson, most had someone walking next to their horses, but the goal is for everyone to be able to sit on a horse and feel confident. 

We were divided in three groups of five, as that is the amount of horses the stables has available for us. Hence why we also get half an hour. These six weeks will only cover the very basics, but still. Every Thursday morning for now, we get in the East15 minibus, drive to the stables, and get up on horses.
