Horse Owners – If You are Having Trouble, Seek Assistance!

I go to the nearby park quite a bit to ride. I have an arena at my house, but it's good to get off the property. Also, the park's arena is way bigger, and that makes it easier to ride in. And there's trails at the park. And it's a de-sensitizing dream, with dogs, kids, soccer, cars, random people wh[...]

Riding Without an Instructor

In the past, I've gone extended amounts of time without a trainer. When I was a kid, I literally thought I knew all there was to know, causing me to get untrained Vintage and fall off so many times I lost count. Also, one time she threw her head back so hard, it smashed my face and I literally saw[...]

My First Grid

I'm trying to get in as many lessons as possible before my next show. Even though I still have to get through my three nervous experiences before getting a good experience, I'd like to make the next one as not nervous as possible. Tuesday, was the first of my two lessons this week. But, instead o[...]

A Great Lesson

After feeling disappointed that I didn't do better at my show, I had a prep talk with myself. I sternly told myself that I need to put in much more effort, and be braver. At my show, I basically went into potato spaghetti mode, put in no effort, and forgot everything I've been working on for months[...]

All My Equines Accomplished Things

Pony Man When I went to my lesson on Friday, I loaded up Pony Man and took him with me. He paused to look in the trailer (something he's[...]

I’ve Ruined Berry

My lesson on Wednesday was a little strange. Berry and I started out well. We warmed up over a skinny, which at first she refused, but eventually I got her over it. This may have been a foreshadowing of events to come, or it may have just been that the fake stone wall was terrifying. But she jumped[...]

In Which Berry Crashes Again

I had my lesson today, and at first everything seemed fine. I had an awesome lesson! But then I really wanted some media of me jumping, so after sitting and chatting with my trainer a bit, I went back out to jump more. This was apparently a mistake. Full lesson recap coming, but here is the worst[...]

The Ride of Betrayal

I had another riding lesson last night, except... it was not on my horse. I have managed to not say anything in front of my horses, but I think they'll figure it out next time I ride them, because I had an awesome lesson, and I feel like a better rider. Because I have become a defensive rider due[...]
