Somehow I guess I have a natural inborn gift with doing well or having children respond to me or like me somehow...Is it because I am nice to them? Is it because I treat them with kindness and respect rather than objectify kids as completely different than everyone else around me? Either way for whatever reason I do so well with kids i was instantly able to work well with these two little severe disability twin boys on their motor skills horse riding lesson as one of the volunteers.
I had a good riding lesson myself, I am going to canter next weekend which means that I will be riding faster than a trot. I am still learning how to sit right in the saddle so that my butt does not bounce up and down in the seat. I did pretty good with my horse riding posture today because my butt did not feel like it would fly off the horse during the trot we did around the arena. I practiced today trotting and then walking and later on trying to stand up in the saddle with my arms down and butt off the seat with my legs straightened. Being a "guy" the part of the saddle that is a round leather door knob handle shape you can hold onto was lets say getting in the way of me standing up all the way comfortably. Some men can fit into a pair of skinny jeans, I have tried before but just could not fit into a pair of skinny jeans in my particular case.
