"momma im proud" moment

super proud moment in time....
today i went to my riding class and rode my horse at a walk, jog trot, and trot. I did turns at a walk and a trot... and I backed my horse as well. ALL with out stirrups.
lets hope i don't look like a fat idiot on the video tape....and lets hope i can find an instructor here in tucson......
off to the surly wench tonight for some ace pear cider.
