I tell myself to plug in and breathe, and there is a new rider on top of my horse. I use her ALL THE TIME! Her and W. Zettl, Steinkraus and (of course) Sally Swift (we are on her 2nd book), but I'm a geek, I love to read my horse books! If you have any other good ones that you love, let me know! Love the Palamino pics. Was never a fan until I started working at a barn where we have five and two buckskins! :) I am thinking of starting one of my BO's two year olds... his name is Junior, but I call him June Bug b/c he is such a sweetheart! Don't let the weather get you, although I could not live there FOR THAT REASON, I have SAD, and would have to do light therapy... kudos to you for making yourself go to the barn, where you get all the therapy a gal could want, right? :)jacksonsgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702324347419665816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-34296974274395990782011-02-02T20:39:06.123-08:002011-02-02T20:39:06.123-08:00I just love riding along with you and your mare.

She has really put the $ out there for his healing. Nothing was left out.<br />Yea, the blessing of repreve in winter. I'm keeping my head up with it!<br /><br />Carolina~<br />Good for you, getting to ride a bit. I know it will be on and off for more time here...but it has warmed and is not raining..good for me!<br />Yea, I had a trainer that saids Wa was luckey to have me all the time. I think she would have never put up with her behaviour. But, I did not train her to be reactive and fearful, she has actually come along way and just has some quirks...HECK Who doesn't have quirks..I read about people and animals that have them all the time! I am devoted TO HER and Hers so I'm stuck with them and she is stuck -with me!<br /><br /><br />Trudi~<br />I KNOW we are luckey to have a respite from winters grasp, on the times.<br /><br /><br />Lytha~<br />Yea...for reasons that occured before me, Wa hates the arena and what she remembers of it.I try my darndest to not be the cowboy that beat her or tied her down and put a saddle over wounds for 30 days...but she really has some "Folder Files" of pain memeory there.<br /> We will keep trying though.<br /><br />Skye is one lucky horse to recover from his ripped tendon. It was terrible. The BO is supposed to cover those rachets..but has not. I have rocks all around mine, and cones in the paddock. <br />Negligence is something you can't write off.<br /><br />YES- Wa still has scars where the hair has not grown back from the Cougar scratches. She also is ALOT more frightful of "Crouching Stumps" they look like big cats waiting for her to jump on..the right color and size. I feel badly for her as she frights much more...it is a real scare for her.<br /><br />Jules~<br />I thought of you with this "FOG" title! Yea, the streaking has been good!

Glad you can out of it though and back into the sunshine where you and Wa belong. That video of Wa walking tells the whole story. She is REALLY listening to you! She hesitates and then listens then walks on and flips the right ear on you to keep track of what you wish. I love your mare! <br />And she was good with Skye. That is awful what happened to that horse, but glad they were able to head out with you. Happy ride! That's my KK girl back on the trail to good health and positive energy. Keep up the streak!

Really enjoyed the ride out with you. ...Great post. Really enjoyed the ride out with you. Love Wa's dapper stride through the woods. She really enjoys herself. She's the luckiest horse to have you. Not many people are so considerate and open to new ways of riding or handling their horse. Lots of riders are all ready to blame their horse for what's wrong.<br /><br />I think there is defnitely logic in what you say about you being all nice and relaxed when riding out and tense when you go into the arena. I know Naloma is very sensitive to my state of mind. And I am to hers, hehe. When she's all tense, I am too and that doesn't help. I can start riding being very relaxed and then Naloma thinks she hears or sees something scary and shoots into her bomb-mode (ready to explode if a leaf drops). Sometimes I start singing silly songs to relax my breathing again. That can help. Sometimes I can't stay relaxed and that doesn't help at all.<br />Anyway. Good luck with that ;-) The book sounds interesting.<br /><br />Skye is gorgeous!<br /><br />I've just last week started riding again. The snow has disappeared, making way for some really Spring-like weather, getting all our hopes up, but now it's back to frost and misty grey cold again. Ah well, better times will come ;-)Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288856854422999687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-48852442255060718092011-01-30T20:58:51.562-08:002011-01-30T20:58:51.562-08:00It's nice that someone is riding!
