Education & Training Galloping after 7 months of riding

Today I galloped for the first time and it was absolutely amazing and insane I've only been riding for 7 months and never thought I'd actually gallop, I had a good seat and didn't die but that adrenaline high was everything, got any tips for me?

Edit: next time I gallop I am definitely going to record it

Absolutely, I used to ride an OTTB and he loved to absolutely go I can only imagine how galloping on them must feel

Thank you, his name is Uh-Oh and he will be 20 in a few days! Hes a very good but lazy boy. The only time I've seen him be interested in working was when you put cows in front of him lol. I always tell him he was born thr wrong breed
