Wind in my hair

Went riding again today on Diamante. He's a great horse, and fits me perfectly. And even though it went much better today than last time, there were some mistakes made. And it was always my fault. Guess I have to realize that I'm not 17 anymore, and even if my fitness level has gone up from 0 to I-dunno-know maybe 7 on a 10 scale, there is still some work to be done. Especially with regards to leg strength.

For you who are not familiar with horse riding, the legs are the steering mechanism with a horse. You push, move and give the horse the indication what he or she needs to do with the help of your legs.

Galloping today went really well, only I was told to sit back. I tend to lean forward 'cause that makes the horse go faster, which is fun I think, but did as I was instructed and unfortunately hurt my tailbone. But I guess standing up on buses and sitting on my bar stool at home with the bum hanging out isn't that bad.

And no, no wind in my hair but sweating down to the hair roots. Last time I lost half a kg by riding, it'll be exciting to see what the scale says tomorrow.
