I just arrived to St. Petersburg, Russia a few days ago and the Russians are going to work me hard! I have classes and private lessons for the next 16 days straight (although the last 3 days are in Germany). I had my first class in Moscow yesterday and there were over 60 students in it and about the same in today's classes. The classes went great and I was even asked for my autograph in the last class tonight. That was cool!
I just spent the last 3 days learning to ride a horse in the South of Sweden. I really had no idea how much I would enjoy this. In just 3 days I had learned to walk, trot, canter (this is a slow gallop), and even jump fences (which I was told usually takes about 1 year to learn). My instructor, Annette Jacobson, (Lindy Hopper from Abberkas which is near Malmo or Lund, Sweden) used to be a professional trainer and she was awesome! Thanks Annette!
