Hi! :star2:
Today, I had a riding practice with my trainer, and I’ll walk you through it! :blush:
It was a 30-minute drive there, which was kind of boring. :red_car::dash: When I arrived, I tacked up the schooling pony I was assigned to. After getting my helmet, I got on the pony, whose name was Pra, by the way. :horse::sparkling_heart: Today’s session focused on dressage. :horse_racing::sparkles:
I started by walking two circles on each side, then moved on to trotting. I did quite a bit of trotting, making some big circles and some small ones. :arrows_counterclockwise: After that, I galloped over some poles on the ground, trying to encourage her to pick up her legs. She’s a very speedy pony when it comes to galloping! :dash::horse_racing: I galloped three times on each side, repeating the same thing while occasionally adding a big circle. :cloud_tornado:
Next, I trotted on each side two times again, going over the poles to remind her to lift her legs. I then started cooling her off by walking her around the arena with loose reins, allowing her to stretch and feel almost free, but not too loose so that she wouldn’t have control. :horse::blossom: After dismounting and untacking her, I helped my trainer with some big horses for a bit. :muscle::racehorse:
When I led the horses to their stalls, I also took Pra and some other school ponies to their night pasture. Don’t worry; they weren’t cold! :crescent_moon::sparkles:
That’s all for today. The drive back home was boring as well. :sweat_smile:
Fun fact: I didn’t ride “ponies,” but I rode horses that are basically ponies, like Haflingers, Icelandics, and Welsh ponies! :racehorse::rainbow:
