The first lesson

Hey guys so i thought i would fill you in about my first ever horse riding lesson.
So i have started having lesson at Stockbridge Riding School in Wiltshire. I had previously walked aound the stables and observed a couple of lessons. The horses are absolutly beautiful and very well looked after. They currently have 19 horses for schooling and i know they offer a full livery aswell but im not sure how many horses they have for that part.
Anyway for my first lesson i had a hour which costs £60...i know its expensive but obviously its a private lesson and the tuition is amazing.
My first lesson was with a lovely gelding ....(i think) called Jasper! He's abot 14.2hh and hes 27 years old. He's taught many people over the years to ride and he is just generally a lovely gorgeous horse to ride. My instructor Abbie is lovely and very encouring...she actually showed me and mum around the stables.

So in my first lesson i got use to the walk, but mainly it was balancing myself on Jasper and getting myself feeling more comfortable. Then on we went onto trotting, i was pretty nervous but it wasnt too bad ...i was quite bouncy though lol. She did say that i picked it up well in the first lesson though which was really encouraging. Then we started doing the sitting trot which i felt was a bit better, i was on a lounge line so i felt safe with Abbie and could concentrate on my sitting and rising trot.
Then we without the lounge line i started to practise steering, moving off and stopping the orse which was easy.
Overall i absolutly loved it, and i will definatly be carrying on.
