I had a riding lesson scheduled. But as it was still in the 60s, I planned to ride anyway. By the time I got to Knightdale, it had stopped raining. Apparently if you call the weather gods' bluff, they fold.
I asked Heather if she thought I was ready to canter again. She thought for a minute, and said, "Not today, and I think you should start that on a different horse. (I was on Solie.) Want to guess who?" The answer was Bruno. She was worried I'd be nervous on him (he's tall), but she had me confused with another student. We will be doing some no stirrup work leading into cantering. I started that today. My balance was good, and Solie and I worked together well. However, walking tomorrow may be tricky.
