An Awesome teacher

Yesterday, we didn't ride the horses after lunch, and today, we left them to rest. Why? Because DorkyHorses promised us a jumping lesson to take place at 4pm. We hung around all day, waiting, counting down the hours.. And it was finally here! We rode the horses down to Dorkyhorses place. She was running a little late so we mucked about in the paddock. She then arrived. We got straight to it. WildHorses was having a few minor issues with getting Rain over the jumps, so we decided to use Specs instead.
Finally DorkyHorses decided that HorseFrenzy should try Rain over some jumps.
Slowly as the horses got into the flow, the jump was raised from 50cm-(90cm-1m)

Specere was a good horse and faithfully took WildHorse over the jumps. Rain proved to be a little bit of a challenge. She continuously refused to jump (nearly dumping HorseFrenzy in the process).
But she was a good little pony.
 
Dorkyhorses was a brilliant teacher that we both highly recommend her.
This is her Youtube website:

                      So our lesson was a success and we learnt to use our inside and outside reins.
                                                            And our legs to direct the horse.
                  And stick our butts up in the air as high as we can, while keeping our heels down.

                                            We had fun, afterwards we rode home in the rain.
