When I arrived to Horse Village today another friend of mine was riding Firyoza and she was soo tired so had to go rest. My trainer wanted me to ride Besni Bey( the arab pony who doesn't canter but roll like a ball) and I told him that I really didn't like him. So he decided to get me another horse. I was hoping that it would be Magelan. It wasn't..it was something better! Mercedes was standing there waiting for me. At first he was so tensed and was pretty fast. Was being hyper because he hasn't being ridden for 2 weeks. Handling him wasn't that hard of course because I've ridden Maverick when he hasn't been ridden for 3 months! Anyway the beginners and unexperienced riders made Mercedes learn a bad habit like not obeying and responding to the reins. He is 5 years old so he gets agressif when you use your feet a lot. Voice aids are fine with him. I made him walk for 10 minutes in circles and then trot slowly. I've forgotten that I should be patient with the young horses. After half an hour he became perfect,feeling the slightest movement of the reins. Also perfect circles and the most perfect leg yielding I have ever seen. When he does that with the rythm it feels like flying. I have the video of that in facebook :) Haven't uploaded it to youtube yet. Mercedes is a perfect horse. From now I on only me and my trainer will ride him. I'm so happy about that because I finally found the horse that I'm looking for. I really had difficulties at the beginning of the lesson but after he was brilliant. By the way he was so beyond energetic today but he will be calmer next week. He tried to bolt while cantering but I didn't let him.
I will compete with him on 23 April :) !
