^gotta remind myself of this, my hard work and daily dedication has and will pay off.
I think in the matter of a blink, the weekend was gone!

| BFF graduated :) |
Saturday I had a lesson with the gang :)
Tacked up, lunged Henry, got on and hacked around all before my trainer came down to the arena. I was pooped before the lesson even started ha!
We flatted around as a group and then she let Juliana and I jump.
Warmed up over the gate back and forth...
The first course was the gate off the right lead, around to the rainbow oxer, straight and roll back to the right over the domino oxer, left lead around to the 2 stride.
Second course was 2 stride (oxer to vertical), right turn to the dominos oxer, left turn to the rainbow, left roll back to the gate.
We did each course twice and then did the domino over and over to get straight- I felt straight but apparently wasn't lol!
Monday
I went out to hack, no one was around. As I was tacking up Clare showed up- woo hoo! And another girl with the eventing trainer showed up. Got Henry all dressed and lunged him. I was talking to the girl, she is home for the summer. I thought maybe she was a new boarder since I hadn't seen the horse that she was riding but it's a new one that the eventing trainer got- he's gray and cute :)
The horses were all up because the wind was crazy.
I worked on making Henry march around the WHOLE arena during my whole ride.
We went through our paces and then I did some no stirrup work, 3 laps each direction and then my legs were SHOT. Seriously I need to do more of it... I am promising to do some at least once a week, I have to!
Cooled out and chatted with Clare... untacked, hosed off, iced, took him back to his stall, grained, filled waters and went home.
