So all last month I was having a sort of emotional, confidence in my riding breakdown. I was having consistently bad lessons where I wasn't progressing and if anything I felt was going back. I felt amateurish, weak, and just bad. I was seriously considering taking a break so that I didn't become burned out. Just to live a little without riding for ( Read more... )

I had a lesson last night, and while it wasn't as bad as the last two it wasn't good either.

I've hit a fucking brick wall. I'm not getting any better (actually I think I'm getting worse). I had a really hard time yesterday. Lesli's been on this no stirrup kick and I'm just physically incapable of riding without stirrups. I feel like I'm going to ( Read more... )

I have a lesson today at 7. It will probably be rained out.

I'm pooped and significantly less rich than I was at the beginning of the weekend. Went to Alpharetta, GA for horse showing. Lovely area, cold as hell, but lovely. Also a 8 hour drive from Orlando, bleh. I'll sum in up shortly

Friday Night - 3 hour delay on the turnpike. Arrived exhausted.
Saturday - As always drew a horse that was pure evil and ( Read more... )

I'm sure some of you are familiar with the story of the Lipizzan stallions during WWII. Well I had a dream last night that Rob, Allison and I were in a castle in some eastern European country and it was about to get attacked.
