So hot that I nearly fainted whilst riding this afternoon. i came over all uneccessary, felt sick, couldn't breathe & had to cut my lesson short by 10 mins or so.
OK, so Roland is very tough but I need that, the heat and exhaustion took it's toll and I wussed out I'm afraid. I drank a litre of water and had to sit down for about 10 mins to recover

We did loads of 'light seat' cantering which absolutely kills your thighs, if like me, you are carrying to much weight and need to improve on fitness.

But Spider was a complete gentleman, he's ginormous but a real sweetie ...
Roland made me raise my stirrups so I felt like a jockey but it's all about securing my lower leg.
Just having a breather for some oxygen and water ....

Thanks for sharing your riding adventures, it's making me very jealous ;) I used to ride when I was younger and would love to go back some day, although you've made me think how easy things like mounting may not be so easy now, oh to be a bendy teenager again!
