Not a very productive lesson on Friday. I felt like I couldn't do anything correctly, and Dru had already been ridden pretty hard, so he wasn't overly thrilled to be working hard again. R was telling me to do all these things, and I would try, and then just loose focus. Eventually I just got so frustrated and said I didn't think I could do anything with my hands, and holding two whips wasn't helping. She had me do an exercise where you put the two whips together and you have to keep them touching. It was fine, I guess. I didn't feel like it accomplished a lot. The rest of the lesson was the same way. At the end I asked for spurs, so we tried those. He responded by pinning his ears back and backing up. After 15 minutes of that he started going pretty well. It was good because it didn't take a lot of energy from either of us, and then it felt like we had accomplished something by the end when he cantered. I haven't been able to ride him for a few days, and he's a little lame now, so I shall see what happens when he is better!
