Horseriding is hard..

I never thought horseriding would be so difficult. Maybe I'm a slow learner and I'm not consistent in my practice but I honestly thought it looked really easy. Getting into the rhythmn is difficult though today I felt like I made some sort of breakthrough..It's still tough, with my instructor saying "Michelle, Sit softly, bum forward and down, softly softly softly!" Gosh, I wish I had a smaller butt, maybe then it would be easier..my thighs are aching, ego is bruised but I still enjoy it! Too bad I have to take another 3 week break so I'm gonna be back to basics once I go back..
