Riding today went well, but I was really tired by the end of the lesson. I rode Copper, a skinny copper colored gelding, and he was a bit feisty. Personally I like the slow leisurely trot where you can sit the saddle (and won't have a sore bottom the next day), but Copper was having none of that. Thank goodness for posting, we had a fast-paced trot the entire lesson- I did get lots of practice passing other horses and doing circles to slow him down some :)

After I got home, we relaxed with a couple of movies. The first was Robot Stories. Another good Mark pick. The movie consisted of three short stories, each really interesting with that "what if" science fiction aspect. One note, I really don't recommend watching the "special features" short- I was about sick at the end of it. The second movie was Wimbleton (a Laura pick). If you are in for a light romantic comedy- this fits the bill, I was rolling with laughter and tears throughout.
