lesson notes, mmxvii-vii-xv

Lunged and rode Hot Shot at a walk through some cool arena patterns under Kelly's guidance. Between some of the weight he's gained and his new shoes, he is moving marvelously. He's so awesome - when I get my seat right and my head up and I have my eyes on our destination, he gets me there, without me having to ask any louder than that, like he's telling me, look, I know what I'm doing, you just fix yourself. After my lesson I did a gratitude walk in the labyrinth; it felt nice to try to return a little spirit to the place.
