I have to start out by saying that riding my horse on Sunday made me deliriously happy. It wasn't a perfect ride, but any time spent with Zoe brings me great joy.
There were four of us in the lesson and I was by far the weakest rider. And this became even more apparent as Marla worked with us. She would ask the other riders to attempt some skill...and follow up her instructions with, "And Vanessa, you just walk Zoe around the middle." I wasn't bothered by this in the least and actually found it a little amusing towards the end.
A friend at school likened my lesson to the times when she teaches her class something but asks the slow kid (me!) to just go color at the back corner. :)
So I colored for most of the hour....smiling the whole time!
