As promised....

... going again today to ride... this will be my 3rd day in a row as weather is permitting... today its 40 because of rains coming later. I had much planned for today, per usual riding takes presidence! This will not always be the case but as life allows... today does!

I will be trying to document with videos... but my little Sony Cybershot although an amazing little camera... does not have a wide angle lens capability... so I am constantly adjusting to see which location I can capture the whole arena... as it stands... I cannot. So I apologize for long periods of vacant arena until I make it back into the view finder :)

Take notice that his headset is staying more consistant and I think he will be making leaps and bounds now that we found our sweet spot with hands, seat and leg = headset perfection :)

BACK to the drawing board!

Ignorance is bliss isnt it? I mean really... you go along your whole life... its grand. Your smiling... having fun.... no work involved really with actually riding your horses..... you jump anything, you show, its fun, you team pen, cut cows..... do a few clinics... improve your horsemanship.... get better horses, tack, do bigger shows.... everything is great.... life is grand.... you have high hopes.... you have HIGHHHHH HOPES....

You decide your going to pay for lessons, there has got to be a right way to ride to get to where your going. You work your horses often, you take a few lessons, and then ....

WHAM!.... you have a TON of work to do or your never going to get there.... well how unfair is that? What they say is true too... you can never go BACK... back to the ignorance is bliss part.... NOPE forever gone like virginity... NOW I have to move forward.... work at it, perfect it... do the best I can with what I have been blessed with. Fix the problems that arise and make chicken salad from chicken crap. I have been told that the rider makes the horse. I can understand that, but I have always thought that its that ONE horse that makes the rider. I believe there is a perfect horse for every person .... I just happen to have three. Working diligently with one right now... but will be working equally hard with all three once spring hits.

I have been riding in bliss.... happy to be riding along without the drama and then I decide I want to just go big as you only live once.... and here I am. I cant quit now, and now I have to be steadfast and keep on keeping on.

So I am heading off to the indoor now to work on what needs to be worked on and will post later with vids and pictures.
