more pocket!!

yesterday AND wednesday i got to ride pocket!! on wednesday me and mrs. mary took them on a trail by her house that went down by camino real and then up into the hills a little bit. pocket trotted most of the way in on the hill. it was really fun!! then, yesterday, i rode pocket a bit around the arena and then mrs. mary started giving me another lesson!! it was really fun. then, she wanted to have me practice trotting on pocket some more and it all went really well until pocket started to slow down and i gave him a little kick and he started CANTERING!! it was only 3 or 4 steps but i almost fell off of him. i'm glad i stayed on!! i didn't know that pocket could go that fast. the fastest i've gone is trotting, and i'm definetely not ready to start cantering yet. trotting is like jogging, cantering is running, and galloping is like sprinting.
