Day 3 Horsemanship

Just a very quick post As I am on the bus on the way homeTo let you know that I started my course on MondayAnd so far it's going pretty wellThe day is long enough9 15am - 4 15pmThe first half of the week is spent in the classroom Doing modules like goals, communications and suchThursday and Friday are spent in the stables Learning everything about horses So I am excited for my first day tomorrow There are 14 in my classNice and small We are all at different stages But another girl started with me on MondayThe first question everyone asked me was had I horse riding experience I played down the riding I've done As I don't want to look a fool if it all goes wrong But I did say that I had been learning to canter Which if I'm honest I regret saying Most of the people in the class had very limited experience of horsesApart from the other new girl Who used to work in a trekking centre So I'm thinking she knows her stuffMonday was tough though I'm getting a bus in to town at 7 50amSo I'm up at 7am And it's pitch dark at that time Then finding my classroomMeeting the other girls We have three breaks in the day Which is great as the day is broken up in to chunks But during the breaks on the first day I didn't know where everyone went So I spent my breaks alone Sad I know But yesterday the girls asked me to lunch so I gladly went And they are all lovely All animal mad like me So we have that in common from the get goToday was good as we had a different teacher Who taught us all about the horses tack And the the anatomy of a horse So I enjoyed that I'm hoping that I might be able to get a later bus in to town As they seem pretty flexible about what time you show up atIn fact it's all very relaxed and informal I guess we are all adults So the onus is on us
Anyway I will update properly at the weekend Appologies for being AWOLBut it seems life is shooting forward at break neck speedBut I know there are things I need to iron out Like the fact I'm not eating during the school day And I'm finding it very difficult to manage meals at the breaks The thing is I know I won't last if I don't fuel my body And the next thing will be that I'll get ill or weak But lookThese are all teething problems I'm sure it will all work out sooner or later A big thank you to all the lovely ladies keeping our community going You know who you are Alright that's meSee you on the next post...
