Trying a New Horse

Today going to riding. I had had my mind made up that I would be riding on a new horse. The first thing that I did was ask if I could ride an other horse than Fussie. Bente said yes, but there was still time to get ready later so first, I wanted to go over to Fussie and say hi. I told her that I wouldn't be riding on her but I still wanted to be friends.
Sofie (turns out that it is spelled with ph), came later and started getting ready right away. She was going to ride on a pony named Rigina. As I got Amira ready with Moster Lone, I was a bit nervous because it was a different horse than usual and I didn't know how it acted. The reason that I chose Amira was because 1) I thought she looked like Pippi's horse and 2) I was told that she was super sweet and 3) I wanted to ride a new horse.
Before the lesson started, Moster Lone walked me around and told me not to worry. Once the lesson started, we started trotting around. It felt as if Amira already respected me. She followed my commands and stopped when she was told. The one thing I like more about Amira than Fussie is that she doesn't get aggressive around the other horses. Later in the lesson, we were told to gallop. I have never galloped by myself on any other horse than Fussie. This time, Silke and Sophie galloped at the same time on their horses and I did it on leash.
It turned out to be a good lesson and Amira is a sweet horse.
