7 // Scout

Hellooo!!!

I'm back

Did y'all miss me???

So... 

I apologize for lack of updates. I haven't updated my journal in quite a while, so I'll explain what's new!

Starting with the cool stuff *reads past journal entries* (I need to be prepared you guys XD)

So my last entry was three months ago... Yeah... I promised I'd post a vid of me riding so here it is! 

(I'm the one in the green sweater in the front) XD  

That was Caspian by the way :D

You can guess what I did... Yeah I decided to make a yt channel (I kinda like editing videos xD)

(pwease like and subscwibe) :D (I KNOW I'M WEIRD NO NEED TO TELL ME)

Anyway... In those three months that I was gone a lot changed. A few weeks after I got moved up (aka - back) to canter class

Long story short, I got moved up to canter over the summer, but my very first instructor moved me back down. Idk how she was able to do it but... HATE YOU LANA!!! 

I know. "Hate is a strong word"

XDXDXD

So... I've been cantering for about 2 months now. I finally convinced my mom to come to me lesson today! And she (yay!) took a video of me!!!

We started the lesson as usual. Walk, trot, two point, circles etc. We did a little stirrup-less today too. Weirdly, I did better at stirrup-less after not doing it for a few weeks XD

Fun fact - I kept loosing my stirrups through out the rest of the lesson.

After warming up, we took turns cantering. When it was my turn, we went out onto the wall, trotted for half a lap, then cantered. Scout (oh yeah, thats who I rode!) has an AMAZING canter. It's soooo smooth and just so nice! He did break into trot a few times, but that's ok. 

Scout has a track right steering issue, so while trying to keep on the wall, I almost ran my instructor over XD She's alive, don't worry!!!

On our second time cantering, we went track left. Unfortunately, I didn't get a video of that but... Scout was amazing! He didn't break into trot at all! Not once!!!

Here's the video of my lesson!

So yep. That was my massive (not so much) update.

I forgot to mention, but it's really not that fascinating. Caspian bit me two weeks ago XDXD My mom could't understand why I still rode, but freak out at the tiniest bugs xD

If you finished reading this whole thing, CONGRATS!!! This was a bunch of nonsense (totally not because I wrote this at 12:30 AM)

Same goes for the video editing. XD

Imma go sleep now
