I made a mental note on all of what Leon just thought me.
"That's good. With this current position we are making sure that you have the right balance once the horse starts moving." Leon smiled at me.
I felt my heart thump when I saw his bright smile.
"Alright then, try giving Margaret a nudge for her to move forward." Leon instructed. I do as I was told and gave Margaret a gentle nudge with my feet. Margaret started to move.
"Oh my, she's moving." I say with amazement. Leon was by the horse's side maintaining a safe distance.
"That's good. Don't be so stiff while she is walking. Let your body flow with the horse's movement." Leon said.
I tried to do what Leon said. I felt that Margaret was moving in an easy pace.
"You're doing great princess." Leon praised me.
"Really? Thanks." I smiled happily.
"Now try trotting. Give your nudge more strength." Leon instructed.
I give Margaret a much stronger nudge and she was trotting.
