A humbling experience

I was put in my place today at the riding lesson. Well, that's stretching it, but I didn't get what the teacher was telling me, so she asked me to dismount and showed me what she meant. And that's a real humbling experience, 'cause when she did it, it looked like a stroll in the park. And it was an easy thing.

However, today was hot and I didn't mind a break of a few minutes, gulping down half a liter of water, while watching what I should've done and didn't do.

But afterwards it went better, and I could clearly understand what she was saying. The way you sit on a horse has a big impact, which I kinda knew, but at the time had forgotten.

And as always, when we do leg-yielding I hear "Annika, look up in the corner, not at the horse's ears". Yeah-yeah, one day I will learn.
