I’m a Big Fat Liar
I had assumed that I wouldn’t be lessoning this week due to everyone being away at Champs. Turns out I was wrong. Coach D (G wife) was still around and so we lessoned. A private lesson. Just me and Tuck. … Continue reading

Last night I arrived at the barn after work and was advised that we would be lessoning clinic style. What fun! There were seven of us riding and for the most part we were on our usual mounts. The plan … Continue reading

Tuesday Night Lesson – Don’t Anticipate

Thursday Night Lesson – I Said Forward Damn It!
This week lessons haven’t gone so well for me. Tuesday I had a very tired horse that conked out part way through the lesson and on Thursday I had all the intentions of getting back to normal and riding him … Continue reading
