Fun morning at Ponderosa yesterday. These two ladies did very well. It is so much fun when you see the payoff of hard work and determination to the right way by your students. Great experience for both horses and riders!

Great day helping horses. This guy who has navicular disease also needed some extra help with a thin hoof wall. According to the owner he has changed his posture already on the first cycle in the CRS shoes. 😀

My resent reflection😀
A few years ago now, I jumped off my horse and was walking in the barn to get ready for my next lesson, when the dad of a new to me student said with a surprised voice, You ride? Looking at him, not really sure how I was supposed to answer, I said with hesitation in my voice - yes. To which he responded and explained that he had never seen any of the daughter’s previous trainers ever sit on a horse. It took me a while to process this, and it has stuck with me all these years.
If I remember it correctly, I answered that I do all of this so that I can ride.

I am passionate about teaching , but if I didn’t ride I wouldn’t know what to teach. I’m passionate about learning but if I didn’t ride I wouldn’t be excited about learning new exercises and how to get a better feel. Riding keeps me wanting to be better all the time. I need to be better for my horses. To ride is stinkin hard!!

But sometimes we get stuck in the hard. The hard work, the hard falls, the people that are hard to deal with or the horses that are hard to figure out and we forget our why?
The other day I jumped off my horse after an average ride, not great but not bad either but the feeling that overwhelmed me was joy. It is so amazingly fun to ride!!! Horses are fun! The feeling when your communication with a horse works, whether it is on the ground or in the saddle, is pure joy! There is nothing quite like it! 😀
