.......... I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE...ITS SO HARD TO KNOW WHICH FACE TO SLAP FIRST!

Dont plan anything much for the next day,cos you`ll be walking like youve got a giant pumkin between your legs and have leg and bum ache!...lol..have fun!

Just relax and be as confident as you can be!

If you're relaxed then so will the horse be, they will have you on a nice calm horse no doubt for your lesson who will know what to do!

and wear a riding hat, and gloves...

ha ha yes this may help some what!

saying that riding schools should provide a hat, but not gloves, i'd definately reccomend gloves

Thank you very much for the tips, I didn't think of gloves and i've gone a bit mad in the garden today and my hands are aching so probably even more reason to wear them tomorrow!

Will let you know how it goes - I used to get 'Your Pony' magazine when I was a kid and always had day dreams about riding lets see

aww I remember that mag!

I so miss horse riding!

Well i really enjoyed my first lesson, even got up to a trot which I was really pleased with but it feels strange being so high up (I am only little!) Hopefully I will get another booked soon, will soon add up though at £16 a 1/2 hour lesson I guess I better get saving the pennies
