Cantering on Danny!

I went for a ride out on Danny this week and cantered him for the first time!

The first time we were walking around he field, I asked him to Trot on... He went straight into a Canter!
My bum stayed connected to the saddle the whole time and felt so smooth. Was really excited after haha
Think I must have relaxed my hips properly 'cos I wasn't expecting it.
The other couple of times I did it he Cantered straight away but I wasn't as relaxed and had my heels up so my bum was bouncing a bit in the saddle.

Still, I'm learning and was good fun!!!

Hack out with Danny

Have had a couple of riding lessons with my housemates and we went out for a Hack this weekend with Lady (who we've been helping to break in for a few months) and Danny. I loved it!
Boxer at the riding school is really good but (I now realise) doesn't really listen to me... Danny is really good and actually listens, stops when I say etc.

We went out for a Hack on Saturday with Nat (brother) and then again on Sunday afternoon
Few photos...

We even got Nat on a horse!!

Equine Anatomy and Physiology

Went well! :)
Last exam too! :P

There were 24 multiple choice questions, which I guessed the answerers to probably 5, quite confident on the others though.

Then a 30 mark choice of 2 essays. One about roles of organs in the digestive system, the other about the evolution of the equine head.
Obviously chose the one about the digestive system!!

Wasn't too bad but knew I was waffling so probably didn't go very well!
Left after 45 mins too :)

Went into the exam with 23.5% from coursework/assignments, and need 40% to pass the module, so hopefully I can get that! :P
