For the first time, I went to the new barn at night and rode under the lights. It was… wow! The lights are awesome… I was wondering a little how it would be and if Elvis would be a little spooky (he had a past eye injury) but the lights there are powerful and it pretty much was like riding in the daylight. It was even lit enough to jump.

So I had another impromptu lesson with Meredith. Really good stuff. I got to work on alot of jump eq on just concentrating on myself, ’cause Elvis is awesome. We basically did a continuation of the lesson from Sunday, working on getting the lead over the fence. I managed to get all my leads. So yay.

Funny exchange (after I have cantered around the ring):

M: “ok, go around again and now SIT your canter!”

C: “um…. that was my ’sitting-the-canter’.”

I’m a big faker on sitting. I hate doing it, ’cause I suck at it, but apparently I can’t fool Mere.
