A little break through

 Yesterday jack and i went for a wander up the lane as per farriers orders. since jack had laminitis his feet have been growing really well and coming through at a nice angle but the part of the hoof that was laminitic now needs to be worn away and the best way for us to do that is long walks on a harder surface.

Training in the Relaxation

 I have been trying to write this post for the last two days!

quick update- i've been slack

So it's been a long while since I've been on here, sorry! I've been very busy riding!!! Yes, I'm working on my freestyle and I am now confidently riding on my own in the round yard and paddock. Archie has been perfect, of course, so I decided to take him to the recent play day where we played online which was awesome, and then i hopped on for 20 min in the arena where other people were riding and playing online, Archie was so good, a little more animated but my confidence is such that I was okay with that.

Ride for Tomorow

 Since i passed my level 3 Liberty and Online late last year, the first audition that i wanted jack and i to work towards this year was Freestyle level 3. 

Circle of strength #4

It has been along time since I have entered into this blog. During the summer I studied the video on level I and two and practiced them sequentially and religiously. I need to remind people at this time that I do not have any arms. I do everything with my feet. We began the summer out working with Star, my quarter horse. She did really well for the longest time. Then, one day she decided she did not want to lunge anymore. Thus, she then dragging her instructor off during this exercise. She was very hard to return to her circle.

nothing going on

There is not much going on with the group.  I fear it is going to fall a part
