I had a make-up horseback riding lesson today with the owner of the stable, with whom I had not yet taken any lessons (hence, she had never seen me ride), and after watching me jump my first course and giving me a couple of pointers she said, "Well, you do know something, don't you?" Talk about a masterful backhanded compliment. Although considering I'm planning to show at the end of May, I'm happy for her input.
