She'd much rather be dramatic and exciting, but I seem to have a hidden 'talent' for making those sorts of horses dull and boring...which is great for trail riding, less so for dressage and eventing :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-38226158560955483322019-11-12T14:00:46.474-08:002019-11-12T14:00:46.474-08:00I keep tossing it in to conversations and of cours...I keep tossing it in to conversations and of course no one thinks it's as funny as I do, glad it gave you a smile :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-59758755742260053112019-11-12T13:59:08.160-08:002019-11-12T13:59:08.160-08:00After riding past that place in a wind storm, I th...After riding past that place in a wind storm, I think we're good to tackle anything, LOLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-46068151396430882872019-11-12T13:57:11.747-08:002019-11-12T13:57:11.747-08:00Ha!

It's kind of like a game of Where's Waldo every time we head out - you know he's in there somewhere.

I always teach it, but in practice it's not always to most useful on our steep and narrow trails. In the arena and for first XC schooling it's come in very handy with the babies tho!

He even had the nerve to look peeved when I asked him to not take the chainsaw into the woods and cut trees while I was riding. But it is good training.

Including flying fridges!<br />You can stay safe on Sophie, even on the trails, with a solid one-rein stop. When she gets older and fitter, she will start to test you (somewhere between 4 to 6 years old) and that's when it might get tricky. You will want to have many more tools in your toolbox by then.Nat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854754166891062563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-90254680716627241902019-11-12T03:54:33.182-08:002019-11-12T03:54:33.182-08:00Omg talk about bomb proofing haha... also tho that...Omg talk about bomb proofing haha... also tho that’s awesome that things are clicking right along.
