Today was the last day of horse camp. The campers invited their parents out to show off what they learned in the week. They trotted on the lounge line, then we took the saddles off and they rode bareback. The one on Oreo almost fell off in 'Around the World' but I caught her foot as she slowly slid down. Then the one on Hummer fell off when she was just about to finish AtW. It was really funny.
Then we hid things around the arena and then went out in search. The person on Oreo fell off when she reached for a brush lower then it should have been. She got up laughing and we all laughed it off.
Then I rode Nikko in a lesson. I have to learn how to 'compact' his stride and make him more...rideable for his owner? During jumping, he tried to take my kneecap out in the middle of the grid, moving left, ignoring my leg. Since he is 'sensitive' I couldn't kick him, just open my rein nicely >.< but at the end, we got a left to right lead change...so does that count as schooling off my leg?
Then I rode Snickers up the mountain with Rex and Amelia. It was fun until the motor bike scarred the living manure out of her. Needless to say, I was scarred about motor bikes for the whole ride back. And she only tried to kill us tripping about 2 times :D, just over rock which made it more freaky.
