I still love the woman, and she's one of the few in town who I would recommend, but she was no longer right, and a dramatic, public demonstration of my horse's need for a change took me to a trainer who knew how to teach me to ride through massive bucks... and also happened to be an FEI rider who can *teach* well.Nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817230186352688525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-46543215165000003702015-01-03T06:22:44.693-05:002015-01-03T06:22:44.693-05:00Super equestrian blog!

I always find it odd that people just cant see that they are the cause of their horse related issues and that changing horses a million times over won't change a thing.

I guess that's easier when your trainer comes to you, rather then being at the place you board though! <br /><br />bonita of <a href="http://www.aridinghabit.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">A Riding Habit</a>Lavender and Twillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331125027969557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-71799239302557258892014-12-08T14:35:17.676-05:002014-12-08T14:35:17.676-05:00really great perspective - yes something needs to ...really great perspective - yes something needs to change, but it's not always what we think it should be... anyways, how very convenient that you were able to slip out so easily! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-56116426234466153172014-12-08T11:51:00.418-05:002014-12-08T11:51:00.418-05:00What convenient timing!
