Ok, so the title of this post is a bit weird...
I have just finished my first week at college, and there have been lots of funny and interesting things, but today I'm just going to write about the riding!
We have ridden twice this week (from next week I'll be riding four times a week).
On Wednesday I rode India a little chestnut who is about 14.2hh, for a quick riding assessment in walk and trot. She was very cute and 'pony-like', even if she didn't like keeping her head straight (resulting in a horrible face from her as I tried to keep her straight!)
Today I rode Winnie, a grey 17hh dutch warmblood, for another riding assessment-type-thing with my course tutor watching this time, ahead of the first showjumping academy session next Friday. She was such a nice but very sensitive horse to ride - if I used my hands, legs or seat the tiniest bit too much she let me know! However by the end I would like to think I understood her a bit better!

Now I am so excited for the showjumping academy training next week!
