He had it this morning. He's had a couple of little goes on a friend's pony but this was his first proper lesson and he LOVED it :D
So chuffed - he doesn't really have any hobbies as such but as soon as he got off he was asking to come again next week.
He sat up really nicely, and got the hang of rising trot for a little while, then got tired and unco-ordinated :D
I was a bit at the bloke who took the money etc though... we'd booked for a half hour, beginner lesson and he said "As it's such a nice day, they might go for a ride through the woods! You'd be able to walk alongside!" and I was like "Right. But we booked, paid for and was expecting a lesson" and he tried to convince me that a walk through the woods is just as good and it's a shame to waste a nice day.
Nope. Sorry. Disagree. I used to teach, and a walk out is a walk out, and a lesson is a lesson. Don't try to charge me for a bloody lesson and then do a walk out, thank you very much. Huh. He backed down when it was clear I wasn't going to be very happy with a complete change of plan at zero notice, but I suspect he now hates me.
Oh well.
