This is me yesterday on Riley, my lesson horse, who is the MOST patient and calm horse I've ever seen! Nothing bothers him and he yields nicely to leg pressure! He has kids climbing all over him for lessons, too, so he's pretty mellow about everything! My legs felt good yesterday and didn't hurt at all. I practiced dismounting and when I dismounted at the end of my lesson, all went well! (((BIG SMILE))) I practiced it over and over until my legs knew where to go and what to do! (I have nerve damage in my back which effects my legs and balance...)

YAY! Glad that all went well, and your legs felt good! That is always a plus side! awww sorry to hear about the nerve damage in your back :( xx
Yay you! You look good up there!
And way to go on the dismounting. I still have some clumsiness at time while mounting. I'm not sure if my hip displasia or wonky, creaky knees affects that, or just that I'm clumsy in general. lol! Most of the time when I have issues with dismounting, it's after a 3-5 hour long trail ride in the mountains, and I think my legs are just exhausted and weak by that point. :P
