pony rides!
Just for fun, here's some super short, far away videos of me riding my aunt's lease horse, Bistana. Bistana is a tempermental Arab mare who can do the most gorgeous collections. And I get to jump her. What could be better? ;)
The first one was supposed to be us coming into a jump, but she was freaking herself out and doing crazy half changes and counter cantering when I tried to get her to bend, so eventually I took my leg off and we broke. Silly mare thinks too much. And that's my fantastic aunt coaching me in the background. :)
The second was near the end of my ride, and it was after we'd done a few little jumps and she wasn't too happy with going back on the bit. To put it mildly. I think my shoulders eventually reattached themselves.
