I promise that I am still training for skiing, but since it is an off week I am getting in some more riding. I learned how to drive a carriage on Wednesday. I thought a carriage ride would be nice and relaxing, but I used such good posture that my back and core got tired quickly. Plus it takes a lot of attention on corners not to drive the side of the carriage into a tree. The Heyvaerts have lots of good riding trails and fields around their house which makes it very pleasant to ride; I like it. Tomorrow I think I am going to try riding bareback. Hopefully I will not get too bruised to ski train next week; it sounds like I will fall off easily without a saddle.
