Passage of Time..

We're still working on Circling game issues, but nothing major is coming up. I've taken some lessons with a L3 grad/trainer which have been extremely helpful and bought a new saddle in March (longhorn Wade). We're playing in some L3 ground tasks and L1/2 riding (still). The riding is an up and down struggle for me - it's really good some days, really bad other days. We're not doing a lot of it consistently, which doesn't help at all, but at this point I'd rather not ride and preserve my confidences than ride and lose them.

Some pics from this time period....




Generally things are going well. Our communication on the ground is starting to really soar, and we're starting to do some really fun things. Cloud's healthy and we're both happy.

Just as it should be!!

Hi ! I saw your post on Mugwump of you bareback riding and you guys looked great! I thought from your blog posts that you didn't ride much - but I was wrong. Keep up the good work!

Just to let you know, I keep reading. I'm torn between yelling "Just ride the damn thing!" and knowing that the only right relationship between you and your horse is the one that gives you the most satisfaction.
