The first time . . .

Awesome weekend teaching. Three firsts: a first "re-rider" lesson, a first XC lesson, a first "on-the-bit". What a blast. The re-rider did an awesome job riding Ned (Nicole's pb horse for the summer) and by the end had him going super well. Both horse and rider in the xc lesson had an absolute blast. Up and down the banks, no problem at all! Over logs, stone walls, and through the water -- all like old pros :) Helped that it was absolutely perfect weather to be out on XC too. This was followed up w/ a superstar dressage lesson where the rider got her horse truly through and round and connected for the first time ever! AND kept him there :)

And *that* is why I do this :)
