*grunt* meesa thinks that lessons are no fun - to limiting. I prefer to do whatever I want, when I want. Riding a horse is not that hard. Once you understand the animal - you can relax nand enjoy yourselves. Yes, I am fairly adventurous - but Circe would probably run to China if I let her - so I can never loose control of her.

i dont need riding lessons anymore...I already ride perfectly fine. but when i lived in GA i did and there at riding lessons we got to ride with are friends and u got to pick the horse u were riding unless she said otherwise. and we could go over the ground poles and the cross-rails at lessons. Then,at the end, we could do what ever we wanted..

Picking a horse...does not sound like the best idea. Inexperienced riders would go for the pretty ones and not realize that horses have different persona's. But I do like the last part.

no, picking as horse was fine there since she would put people in groups that would ride the same..and all my friends and me were in the expert group. and those people r the only ones that could pick, everyone eles had to be picked for them...and like she would sayt who do uwanna ride? flash, reba or indy she would do like that

When i fell off at riding lessons they just put me back on like at a show i fell off but i got right back up and my riding lesson teacher just put me on cuz all that happene to me was that i bit my lip and i was covered in dirt. the judged yelled at me though cuz she wanted me out of the ring (talk about rude) but i was going to leave anyway i was just going to ridehim out
then like a week after that i was about to go over the jump and i was up about to juimp but it fell down and my horse dodged it and i fell. but i had to lay on the ground for a min. cuz i could not breath very good and my back hurt and i couled not get up but i got back on anyway

Circe has thrown me plenty of times haha. Last week, my grandmother told me to meet her out on the North line because she needed some help, so I tacked up mare and set out. I put her into a lope, but she broke pace and went into a canter. I let her get away with it (I spoil her), and after a couple of minutes of warming up, she began to toss her head because she wanted to go faster. Fine. I let her go and what does she do? She stops. But at this point, I am leaning forward, thinking she is about to run. When she stops, I sit strait up and kick her to get her going again. Now she runs. I was totally unprepared and I flew off her back, landing hard in the dirt. Where was she while this was happening? High-tailing it back to the horse pasture. Fine. I start to walk back - but then I realize that it will take me forever to get back home and I am sore and grandmother is waiting for me. I whistle loudly and my trusty gelding - and he comes running. His name is Winter, but he is a bay, he was just born in February. He is about 11 years old, and really calm. I swing up on him (he is untacked, just his halter), and we head on over the North fence and help out until it was time to go home. I found Circe back in her pasture, with her saddle, eating the grass calmly. She is so weird. But I love her.
